A devastating mass shooting occurred in Midtown Manhattan, resulting in the deaths of four individuals, including a New York City police officer, and the gunman, identified as Shane Devon Tamura, 27, from Las Vegas. The shooting unfolded at an office tower located at 345 Park Avenue, which houses the NFL headquarters and other corporate offices. Reports indicate that Tamura was targeting the NFL, claiming to suffer from CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy) and expressing a desire to preserve his brain for research posthumously. The incident has sparked an outpouring of grief and anger, with many citing it as a test for political leaders, including Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who previously pledged to disband key police units. Eyewitnesses described two hours of terror as the shooter moved through the building, ultimately taking his own life on the 33rd floor. The shooting has raised significant discussions surrounding gun violence and mental health.
