Summary
- An NYPD officer and three civilians were killed after a man armed with an M4 assault-style rifle opened fire inside a Midtown Manhattan office building on Monday evening.
- The first 911 calls came in at 6:38 p.m. from 345 Park Avenue, which houses several corporate offices, including Blackstone and the NFL headquarters.
- Surveillance video shows the gunman entering the lobby and immediately opening fire on an NYPD officer working a security detail, then shooting others in the area, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a Monday night press conference.
- The suspect shot another man in the lobby before moving toward the elevator bank, where he fatally shot a security guard hiding behind a desk. He then called for an elevator, let a woman exit unharmed, and rode to the 33rd floor. There, he fired more shots, killing another victim before turning the gun on himself.
- The shooter has been identified as 27-year-old Shane Temura of Las Vegas, who traveled cross-country earlier that day. Papers found on Temura described grievances with the NFL and its handling of CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy). The city’s medical examiner has now confirmed that Temura had CTE at the time of the shooting.
- The NYPD officer killed was 36 years old and had served with the department for three and a half years.

The gunman showed “unambiguous diagnostic evidence of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, also known as CTE,” according to the medical examiner’s office.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a Thursday night interview that the employee injured in the shooting is "stable and improving".

The note also mentioned his supervisor, Rick, who reportedly sold him the AR-15 rifle and the BMW used in the shooting. Investigations continue.
Mayor Eric Adams told reporters this morning that the gunman was targeting the NFL headquarters, but apparently took the wrong elevator. An NFL employee is the only shooting victim to survive. He remains in critical but stable condition. A note found on shooter Shane Tamura's body said that he suffered from CTE and that his brain should be studied after he died, according to the AP. Police said that Tamura played high school football in California nearly two decades ago.
An additional note was also located on the shooter, describing his connection and personal experience with the effects of CTE.
