Shooting Kills Four, Injures NFL Employee at Manhattan Headquarters

A gunman, Shane Tamura, opened fire at the NFL headquarters in Midtown Manhattan, killing four people including an off-duty NYPD officer and seriously injuring an NFL employee, Craig Clementi. Tamura, who drove from Las Vegas to New York, carried a rifle and a handwritten note blaming the NFL for his alleged chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), despite only playing high school football, and expressing grievances against the league. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell sent a heartfelt memo to employees offering support, informing them the Manhattan office would remain closed until at least August 8, and encouraging remote work and mental health resources. Goodell praised the quick response of first responders and emphasized the NFL community's unity during this difficult time. A virtual town hall was planned to provide a platform for employees to connect and support one another. The motive remains under investigation, with authorities noting Tamura's documented mental health struggles and his request for his brain to be studied for CTE.
