A tragic shooting unfolded in a Manhattan skyscraper when a gunman mistakenly targeted the wrong elevator in his quest to attack the NFL headquarters. The attack left four dead, including an off-duty police officer.

Officials identified the shooter as Shane Tamura, who reportedly had grievances against the NFL, citing unproven claims of his suffering from chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a brain disease associated with contact sports. Despite his intentions, Tamura entered a different set of elevator banks, a mistake that ultimately altered his plan and last actions.

The shooting took place in a building that hosts the NFL and Blackstone's offices. Surveillance footage revealed Tamura's armed entry before unleashing a spray of gunfire in the lobby, continuing his attack as he moved within the building. Mayor Eric Adams addressed the incident, highlighting the heroism of slain officer Didarul Islam, mourning his loss alongside other victims.
