Gunman’s handwritten note

On Monday evening (July 28), Shane Tamura, 27, opened fire at around 6:30PM in the lobby of 345 Park Avenue, a luxury skyscraper that houses the NFL’s headquarters.

He fatally shot Officer Didarul Islam, 36, who was working a security detail, and then fired at others in the lobby, injuring several people, including a fifth victim – believed to be an NFL employee – who remains in critical condition.

The shooter then proceeded to the 33rd floor, where he killed another person and then fatally shot himself in the chest.

A multi-page note was discovered after Tamura’s death, and authorities revealed that it contained long-harbored grievances against the National Football League (NFL) and included explicit references to CTE, a brain disease linked to repeated head trauma.
