New York is reeling after yesterday’s tragic Midtown shooting spree. Before turning the weapon on himself, Shane Tamura killed four people, including a Blackstone executive and an NYPD officer. Tamura left behind a disturbing suicide note claiming he had CTE, the degenerative brain disease often linked to NFL players.
But here’s the catch: He never played pro football. Authorities think his mental health troubles led him to target the NFL offices at 345 Park Avenue, which house major names like Blackstone and KPMG, though he ended up on another floor. While New York searches for answers, even in Manhattan’s busiest districts, the incident reminds us how fragile safety can be.
