MANHATTAN — A woman was fatally shot in the head in Harlem's King Tower Houses apartment building Friday morning, NYPD officials said.

The woman, whose name wasn't immediately released, was gunned down within 1370 Fifth Ave., near West 114th Street, about 1:52 a.m., police said.

She was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

There were no immediate arrests, police said.

The circumstances weren't immediately clear. Investigators think the woman may have had an argument with a man before the shooting, an NYPD spokesman said.
