Four Dead in NYC Shooting, NFL Motive Cited

A mass shooting in a Midtown Manhattan skyscraper left four people dead, including an NYPD officer, and reignited national debate over gun control. Authorities identified the shooter as Shane Tamura, a Las Vegas resident with a history of mental health issues, who reportedly acted out of grievances related to the NFL, as described in a note found after his death. Senator John Kennedy (R-La.) dismissed the need for additional gun control laws, advocating instead for 'idiot control' and suggesting the reinstatement of the stop-and-frisk policy in New York City. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) condemned the violence and called for decisive action against the gun violence epidemic. The incident has sharpened partisan divisions over gun laws, policing, and public safety. The motive behind the attack, now linked to NFL-related grievances, adds a new dimension to the ongoing investigation.
