Shane Tamura, the 27-year-old gunman who killed four people — including a police officer — and himself inside a Manhattan skyscraper on Monday, said he was grappling with the progressive brain disease Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) and blamed the National Football League in a note he left behind, Mayor Eric Adams said.
"A note was found on the suspect," New York City Mayor Adams said in an interview with PIX11 News on Tuesday morning. "He stated that he had CTE, a brain injury known for those who play contact sports of some nature, and he seemed to have blamed the NFL. The NFL headquarters was located in the building, and he mistakenly went up the wrong elevator bank."
New York Police Department Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch revealed on Monday night that Tamura, a former high school football player, drove from Las Vegas, Nevada, to carry out the shooting at 345 Park Avenue. The building is just blocks from Rockefeller Center and St. Patrick's Cathedral.
