What Happened
The shooting occurred during rush hour at 345 Park Avenue, a 44-story building home to major companies including the National Football League (NFL), Blackstone, and KPMG. Authorities say the gunman, identified as Shane Devon Tamura, 27, of Las Vegas, entered the lobby with an M4-style rifle and began shooting.
Tamura first shot Officer Didarul Islam, 36, who was working security. He continued firing in the lobby, injuring several others, before taking an elevator to the 33rd floor. There, he killed one more person and then died by suicide.
Victims
Officer Islam, a father of two with a third child on the way, was hailed as a hero by city officials. Two additional victims, one male and one female, were pronounced dead at Bellevue Hospital. A fourth victim, a woman, was found deceased on the 33rd floor. One person survived and remains in critical but stable condition.
The Shooter
Police say Tamura had a documented mental health history and no major criminal record. He legally owned firearms in Nevada and drove cross-country to New York in the days leading up to the shooting. Documents found on his body suggest he had grievances with the NFL’s handling of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a brain condition linked to repeated head trauma in athletes.
Tamura was reportedly a former football player, and law enforcement sources believe his actions may have been fueled by resentment toward the league.
Response and Investigation
The FBI joined the NYPD at the scene, but there is no indication Tamura was previously on federal watchlists. Authorities confirmed there is no ongoing threat to the public. A full investigation into Tamura’s motive is ongoing.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell confirmed an employee was seriously injured in the attack and said the league is increasing security at its offices.
