According to accounts, the gunman who opened fire in an office building in New York City and shot and killed four people left a message at the scene.
A man entered a building at 345 Park Ave. in New York City on Monday, July 28, and opened fire on many individuals. He gravely injured one person and killed four others, including an NYPD officer.
Security footage from the building captured the slaughter, including the moment that Tamura turned his gun on himself, and police have already identified the suspected shooter as 27-year-old Shane Devon Tamura of Las Vegas.
Security footage shows the shooter leaving a black BMW that was double parked on Park Avenue with an M4 rifle before to the attack, according to NYC Police Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch.
The shooting occurred in a Manhattan building that houses the NFL’s headquarters, KPMG, Blackstone Inc., and top law firms. Shooter Shane Tamura killed another person, then himself after taking an elevator to a higher floor. Authorities are investigating a three-page suicide note in which Tamura discussed suffering from Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), likely linked to his past as a competitive football player. He requested his brain be studied. The NYPD confirmed Tamura had a documented mental health history. Officer Didarul Islam, a father of two with a third child on the way, was one of the victims. Mayor Eric Adams praised Islam as a man of faith and courage, calling him a “true-blue New Yorker” who embodied the city’s spirit.
