NYC Midtown Mass Shooting Kills Four Near Film Set

On Monday in Midtown Manhattan, a mass shooting at the 345 Park Avenue skyscraper, home to major businesses including Blackstone and the NFL, left four people dead, including an off-duty NYPD officer, and a fifth seriously injured. The gunman, 27-year-old Shane Tamura from Las Vegas, who carried an M4 assault rifle equipped with a silencer, opened fire in the building's lobby before shooting himself on the 33rd floor. At the time, Hollywood stars Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Stanley Tucci were filming the sequel to "The Devil Wears Prada" just blocks away at 1221 Avenue of the Americas, wrapping up their scenes approximately three hours before the shooting began. The actors were reportedly about a 15-minute walk from the shooting site, safely engaged in production on the highly anticipated sequel. Authorities detained two other individuals at the scene, but the shooter acted alone, and the situation was contained after Tamura's death. The tragic incident shocked New York City, which had recently seen a decline in gun violence, and has prompted ongoing investigations into the motive behind the attack.
