Tragedy in Manhattan: Gunman Targets NFL Over Brain Disease Claim
A gunman, Shane Tamura, 27, targeted the NFL headquarters in a Midtown Manhattan skyscraper, killing four people before taking his own life. Tamura, a former high school football player, left a suicide note blaming the NFL for CTE, a brain disease linked to contact sports.
A deadly shooting occurred at a Midtown Manhattan skyscraper when Shane Tamura, 27, opened fire inside the building, leaving four dead, including himself. Tamura's suicide note blamed the NFL for his alleged suffering from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain disease.
The attack targeted NFL headquarters and resulted in casualties, including security personnel and corporate employees with one gravely injured. Tamura's note indicated his struggle with CTE, presumably from his high school football days, and expressed animosity toward the NFL.
The incident sheds light on the ongoing controversy regarding the NFL's handling of concussion-related injuries. Tamura, with a history of mental illness, traveled from Las Vegas to Manhattan, planning the attack, as law enforcement continues to investigate any possible accomplices.
