Four Dead in Midtown Manhattan Office Shooting

A mass shooting at 345 Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan on July 28 resulted in four deaths, including NYPD Officer Didarul Islam, who was off duty and working security. The gunman, 27-year-old Shane Tamura from Las Vegas, left a suicide note referencing chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and grievances with the NFL, but authorities have found no direct connection between Tamura and the league. Other victims included Blackstone executive Wesley LePatner and security officer Aland Etienne, both remembered for their dedication and heroism. Tamura, who had a documented history of mental health issues, died by suicide at the scene. This was the deadliest mass shooting in New York City in 25 years, with city leaders and the community mourning the victims. Islam is survived by his pregnant wife and two young sons, and his family has been deeply affected by the tragedy.
