Shooter walks into 345 Park Avenue with an M4. Kills NYPD officer, three civilians, and one person on the 33rd floor. Then shoots himself. Five dead. One NFL employee seriously injured.
Shooter ID’d as Shane Devon Tamura, 27, from Las Vegas. Former high school football player. Left a note blaming football for mental decline. Cited CTE. Said the NFL “squashes” anyone who speaks out.
What stands out
• NFL offices are on the 5th floor — shooter went to 33rd If the league was the target, why climb 28 floors
• Rudin Management’s office hit — no statement They own the building. Their floor was attacked. Silence
• Shooter let one woman walk past No explanation. No pattern. Just skipped her
• NFL confirms employee injured — no name, no update League says he’s stable. No press. No footage. No comment
• Shooter drove cross-country Nevada to NYC in three days. No known ties to victims or tenants
• Suicide note references Terry Long Long died in 2005. Tamura says CTE made him drink antifreeze
• No footage released Lobby has cameras. Elevator has cameras. Still nothing
• Sofa barricades Workers blocked doors with furniture. That’s not protocol
• Shooter had concealed carry permit Also had expired PI license. No criminal record
• Police say terrorism not involved Shooter targeted federal-level tenants. Left a manifesto. That’s not random
What connects
Tamura blamed football. Picked the NFL’s building. But went higher. Hit Rudin’s floor. Maybe he got lost. Maybe he wanted chaos. Maybe he had multiple targets.
The note shows intent. The route shows improvisation. The silence from tenants shows damage control.
This is how Blackstone employees barricaded themselves on the 32nd floor while the shooter was active in the building.
