A gunman now identified as Shane Tamura, who killed four people at a Manhattan office building before killing himself claimed in a note to have a brain disease linked to contact sports and was trying to target the National Football League’s headquarters but took the wrong elevator.
Investigators believe Shane Tamura was trying to get up to the NFL offices after shooting several people in the lobby on Monday but entered the wrong elevator bank, Mayor Eric Adams said.
Tamura, who played high school football in California nearly two decades ago but never in the NFL, had a history of mental illness. A three-page note found in his wallet suggested he had a grievance against the NFL over a claim that he suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
President Donald Trump posted on social media in regards to the incident that happened in the Manhattan office.
