Midtown NYC Shooter Targets NFL Offices, Kills Five

The gunman, Shane Devon Tamura, targeted the NFL headquarters located in the Midtown Manhattan building at 345 Park Avenue but mistakenly took the wrong elevator, ending up on the 33rd floor where Rudin Management offices are located, and committed additional shootings before killing himself. Tamura, a former high school football player, left a suicide note claiming he suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a brain disease linked to contact sports, and blamed the NFL for his condition. During the attack, he killed five people including an off-duty NYPD officer working security and three civilians, and seriously injured an NFL employee who remains hospitalized. Mayor Eric Adams and NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch confirmed Tamura drove from Las Vegas to New York City carrying an M4 rifle and ammunition, and opened fire in the building's lobby before proceeding to the upper floors. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell expressed gratitude to law enforcement and confirmed the injured employee is in stable condition. The investigation is ongoing, but the motive appears tied to Tamura's belief that the NFL concealed the dangers of brain injuries related to football.
