In a horrifying act of violence that shook the heart of New York City, a disgruntled gunman unleashed terror in a Midtown Manhattan skyscraper, claiming four lives before turning the gun on himself. The incident, which unfolded on the evening of July 28, 2025, at 345 Park Avenue—a building housing major corporations including the NFL headquarters—has left the nation grappling with questions about mental health, corporate accountability, and the failures of a system that allowed such a tragedy to occur. The shooter, identified as 27-year-old Shane Devon Tamura from Las Vegas, left behind a chilling multi-page suicide note that revealed his twisted motive: revenge against the National Football League (NFL) for allegedly causing him to suffer from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain disease linked to repeated head injuries. This despite the fact that Tamura never played professional football, highlighting the depths of his delusion and untreated mental illness.
Shane Tamura, a standout running back who graduated in 2016, was identified as the NYC shooter. The NFL headquarters, located in the targeted building, may have been a motive for the attack. “Possibly white” shooter according to CNN.

The rampage began around 6:28 p.m. when Tamura, armed with an M4 rifle, stormed into the lobby of the iconic Park Avenue high-rise. Dressed inconspicuously, he immediately opened fire, targeting those in his path with cold precision. Among the first victims was NYPD Officer Didarul Islam, a 36-year-old Bangladesh immigrant and father of two with a pregnant wife, who was working off-duty as private security in the building. Islam was shot in the back while attempting to protect others, embodying the selfless heroism that President Donald Trump later praised in his statement supporting law enforcement. A woman hiding behind a pillar was next, followed by a security guard at his desk.
In a bizarre moment of mercy amid the chaos, Tamura allowed another woman to flee unharmed before proceeding to the elevators.
Mistakenly taking the wrong elevator bank—intended for the NFL offices on the fifth floor—Tamura ascended to the 33rd floor, home to Rudin Management’s offices. There, he fatally shot another man before ending his own life with a self-inflicted gunshot to the chest. The entire ordeal lasted less than an hour, with NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch confirming the scene was contained by 7:52 p.m. via a post on X. In total, four innocent lives were lost, and one NFL employee was seriously injured but reported to be in stable condition. The building’s active shooter drills, implemented by Rudin Management, were credited with saving additional lives as employees barricaded themselves in safe rooms.Tamura’s background paints a picture of a troubled individual whose grievances festered unchecked. A former high school football standout at Golden Valley High School in California, graduating in 2016, Tamura was once seen as a promising athlete.
Racist and woke CNN is ALWAYS fake news… And they still have theirs finger up their rears wondering why they continue to lose viewers. As Trump says ‘Everything woke turns to shit’
I can’t believe CNN had footage of the NYC shooter and still described him as “possibly white.”
Actually… nevermind. That’s absolutely believable coming from CNN. pic.twitter.com/z8ISih51Zp

His former coach anticipated “big things” from him, but a classmate, Caleb Clarke, reflected somberly to NBC News: “It looked like the sky was the limit, and then it wasn’t anymore.” After high school, Tamura relocated to Las Vegas, where he worked as a casino security guard and held a concealed-carry permit set to expire in 2027. He had a documented history of mental health issues, though details remain sparse as investigators piece together his cross-country drive from Nevada, with his vehicle last spotted in Columbia, New Jersey, just before the attack.The suicide note, discovered near Tamura’s body, provides the most disturbing insight into his mindset.
Spanning multiple pages, it explicitly blamed the NFL for inflicting CTE upon him, referencing the tragic case of former Pittsburgh Steelers player Terry Long, who committed suicide in 2005 by drinking antifreeze. Tamura wrote, “Terry Long, football gave me CTE and it caused me to drink a gallon of antifreeze.” He further accused the league of concealing the dangers of brain injuries for profit, stating, “The league knowingly concealed the dangers to our brains to maximize profits,” and “They failed us.” In a ominous warning, he added, “You can’t go against the NFL, they’ll squash you.” He pleaded for his brain to be studied for CTE, signing off with, “Please study brain for CTE. I’m sorry.” Mayor Eric Adams confirmed the note’s contents, noting Tamura’s intent to target NFL employees but his fatal error in navigation. Among the victims, Officer Islam’s death has resonated deeply, symbolizing the everyday risks faced by law enforcement in a city plagued by rising crime under previous liberal administrations.

Democrats are back to using tragedies to push lies about firearms. FACTS: The rifle used is already banned in NY. The shooter in NYC had a history of mental health issues and was receiving medical treatment, according to the NYPD commissioner. This means he didn’t legally obtain his rifle in ANY state. – Breanna Morello

President Trump, in a swift response on social media, expressed his condolences and unwavering support for the NYPD: “I have been briefed on this tragic shooting in Manhattan. Our law enforcement will get to the bottom of why this happened. God bless the NYPD and New York City.” Another identified victim was Wesley LePatner, CEO of Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, described by colleagues as a “beloved and respected” leader whose loss devastates the business community. This tragedy underscores broader issues that conservatives have long highlighted: the urgent need to address mental health crises without infringing on Second Amendment rights. Tamura’s untreated delusions about CTE—despite no professional football career—point to a failure in mental health support systems, exacerbated by policies that prioritize defunding the police over community safety.

The NFL, often criticized for its handling of player health and woke politics, now faces scrutiny over whether its past concealment of concussion risks contributed to such radicalized perceptions. Commissioner Roger Goodell issued a statement supporting the injured employee, but the league’s history of downplaying CTE risks, as seen in lawsuits from former players, adds fuel to the fire. In the wake of this senseless act, New Yorkers and Americans alike mourn the fallen while calling for real solutions.

Strengthening mental health resources, bolstering law enforcement, and holding corporations accountable—without knee-jerk gun control measures that disarm law-abiding citizens—are key to preventing future horrors. As investigations continue with FBI assistance, the city unites in remembrance of heroes like Officer Islam, whose sacrifice reminds us of the thin blue line protecting us all.

The Folks say…
- The NYC shooter killed himself on the 33rd floor of BLACKSTONE HQ, you say? 33 is their favorite number, and that is because it’s a calling card for the Freemasons. They use this number to mock the age that Jesus was when He was crucified, and it’s also to represent 33% of angels which were cast down from heaven after disobeying God. It is NOT coincidence that so many financial companies and various logos use Saturn (black cube) satanic occult symbolism. Blackstone is not an exception. Their rituals are getting more and more blatant. – The Patriot Voice
- New York Governor Kathy Hochul jumps to the conclusion that the NYC shooter legally obtained his rifle, but he likely did not. The shooter had a history of mental illness—meaning he was ineligible to own . More laws aren’t the solution, but Democrats know that. Now Hochul is pretending to care about police and enforcing our laws. – Breanna Morello – More at Post on X
