Manhattan Midtown Active Shooter Kills Six Including Officer

News summary

A mass shooting occurred on July 28, 2025, inside 345 Park Avenue, a Midtown Manhattan skyscraper housing Blackstone and the NFL headquarters, resulting in at least six deaths including the shooter, Shane Tamura, and a police officer. Tamura, a 27-year-old from Las Vegas, entered the building wearing tactical gear and a bulletproof vest, opening fire on multiple people before dying from a self-inflicted gunshot wound on the 33rd floor. The incident caused widespread panic, with employees hiding under desks and evacuating the premises amid chaotic scenes. New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch confirmed that the shooter was neutralized and urged the public to avoid the area. Media coverage of the event sparked controversy after CNN inaccurately described the shooter as 'possibly white,' despite official photos clearly showing otherwise, drawing criticism for perceived racial mischaracterization. Authorities continue to investigate the tragedy, while the city mourns the loss of lives including that of the off-duty officer.
