A gunman who killed four people when he stormed a skyscraper in New York on Monday evening left a note that appeared to blame the National Football League (NFL) for a brain injury, the city’s Mayor Eric Adams said.
The attacker, 27-year-old Shane Tamura of Las Vegas, shot himself dead after opening fire in a building where the American football league has its headquarters, but went to a different part of the building after taking the wrong lift.
The gunman was carrying a note in which he blamed CTE, a brain disease triggered by head trauma, for his mental illness, Adams said.
Ex-teammates have told US media Tamura played football as a teenager but did not play in the NFL.
New York City police officer Didarul Islam, 36 – who was working as a security guard at the building – was among those killed.
Another of the victims was an employee of finance giant Blackstone, who was named by her company as Wesley LePatner.
Two male civilians were also killed. An NFL employee was also “seriously injured” in the attack, the league’s commissioner Roger Goodell wrote in a message to staff.

The police officer shot was called… Didarul Islam.
I'll never understand why people with illnesses blame some random office workers for it. Same thing has happened in the past with medical related grievances.
the Egyptian products cause many health problems 🛑🛑🛑
i advise all of you , don't visit Egypt , because Egypt is not suitable for tourism 🛑🛑🛑
How absurd and futile life is.
What they are not telling you is that he targeted an executive of BlackRock the world's largest private landlord along with an NYPD officer who was providing security cover. This was not a case of the wrong floor.
Well how American … Violent and unable to follow simple signage … A metaphor for the entire nation.
Stupid country

He's American, thus stupidity is a given
strange looking white man
It’s called America anybody can killed anyone without any issue because they can keep gun like knife in home permit by government that’s big business of USA government also
Mk ultra going to work, 33rd floor, blackstone…… they want to take our guns
So why don't they throw all Americans out of the country?
Johnny English strikes again😂😂
if u are white then its a mentally unstable shame
bbc, tell him about new nfl office setup in border separating ukraine and russia
😂
🎉🎉🎉😢
Nowdays there's no safe place,we are living at the world's edge😢
How he is just walking into a building like that with that gun
Walking in plain sight with a massive ass gun. Murica is crazy
How did he pass through the reception area? How did he get access to the elevator and why no one turned the elevator off when he was inside? Seems more like a Psy-Ops that wanted him to do what he did. Who are the people killed? Such an important event and 0 useful information…
"And now we turn to America. A gunman…"
Same old story. Same backward, ignorant, uneducated, mentally ill, gun-worshipping nation.
What in the hell?
The US will do anything but ban guns. 🤷♂️
If it wasnt bbc, i wouldnt even acknowledge the news.
What evidence do we have that we was targeting the NFL? He didn’t play football for 10 years and murdered a Bx executive a police officer and others not named. The NFL has many other higher profile targets if they were the source of his grievance. Does this add up or was he targeting Bx
im not surprised. on the framing
Check to see if he really had a brain injury and check to see if the target was really the NFL,note or otherwise.Poor report.
Blackstone (a major source of the current housing crisis) has been desperately trying to hide that their CEO was the intended target. They're trying to avoid people cheering this and causing investor panic. Honestly hilarious
Still gun law not banned
USA is not safe. Why USA has so many psycho people ?? Why USA sells guns every where like choclates ??
Definitely not targeting a high up executive lmao
Was there any peaceful rioting and looting after this attack?
Lol it wasn't NFL and there were no mental health issues. Corporations will have to stop squeezing our people.
Either way, the property investment company blue print is now becoming common knowledge. Whether it was a mistake the facts remain
And here I thought it was another person wanting to enact justice for private equity making homes unaffordable
Had nothing to do with NFL. Its a spin. Blackstone is destroying America.
Yes! This is absolutely ridiculous that this person, who had a history of mental issues could purchase a weapon of any kind! Or was the weapons in his possession even legal I wonder!?😮 Who, if anyone, is doing thorough background checks on people looking to purchase guns these days? If they were being conducted as they should, those who have proven to be mentally unwell should come up on the radar. But that can't happen unless law enforcement and the healthcare system work together to include the names of these individuals on a special registry that will alert legal gun sellers when a purchase is attempted.
The target was the CEO of Blackstone. Blackstone is why you cannot afford housing.
United Healthcare is profiting off your misery. Think there is a trend here.
And he was from MAga 😲
Such a cheap cover up, he was driving from Las Vegas where is nfl headquarters and went to blackstone by mistake, not buying it, by the way blackstone is the largest landlord in the world
1789 was always the most inspiring year in documented human history
