NYC Midtown Shooter Kills Four Including NYPD Officer

A mass shooting occurred on July 28, 2025, at 345 Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, where gunman Shane Tamura, who traveled from Las Vegas and had a documented mental health history, fatally shot four people including NYPD Officer Didarul Islam before killing himself. The shooter appeared to target the NFL headquarters in the building, motivated by grievances related to chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), as indicated by a note found on him. Mayor Eric Adams described the attack as an intentional and twisted act of violence, emphasizing the shooter's disregard for human life and noting that Tamura had played high school football. The gunman used a high-powered rifle and carried multiple weapons and ammunition, exploiting lax gun laws to bring these into New York City. Police and emergency responders received over 40 calls, responding swiftly to the active shooter scene. The victims included employees from Blackstone, Rudin Management, security personnel, and the off-duty officer, and the community mourned the loss while authorities continue to investigate the motives and details of the attack.
