The incident began Monday evening in Midtown Manhattan when Tamura arrived at the building housing the NFL's headquarters but mistakenly targeted the offices of Rudin Management after taking the wrong elevator. Mayor Eric Adams confirmed that the shooter carried a note expressing blame on the NFL for his mental health struggles.
First responders faced chaos on the scene, with reports of gunfire leading to a lockdown of parts of the area and public transportation. Bystanders described the situation as resembling a "warzone" as police worked tirelessly to secure the building floor by floor. Among the victims was NYPD officer Didarul Islam, who was serving as a security guard. An employee of finance firm Blackstone, Wesley LePatner, and two other civilians were also among the victims. The gunman turned the weapon on himself after the shooting spree, contributing to the ongoing conversation surrounding gun violence and mental health in America.
