In a shocking tragedy, Midtown Manhattan witnessed a deadly shooting in which four people were killed by a gunman identified as Shane Tamura, a 27-year-old from Las Vegas. New York Mayor Eric Adams revealed that Tamura carried a note blaming the NFL for his degenerative brain disease, chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).

Tamura's rampage ended with his suicide on the 33rd floor of a Park Avenue office tower that houses the NFL's headquarters, although he mistakenly entered offices belonging to Rudin Management, killing two security officers and two office workers. Authorities confirmed Tamura's history of mental illness and past football involvement during his school years.

The aftermath included an increased security presence at the NFL's offices, as the league remained silent on Tamura's grievances. The incident echoed fears from a prior executive murder in the area, raising concerns over violence fueled by perceived corporate negligence.
