In the latest update, the gunman who killed four people and then himself had grievances with the National Football League whose corporate offices are in the building that was attacked.

Shane Devon Tamura, 27, was a high school football star, competitive, but with a documented mental health history, police say.

The police don’t have a motive. They’re looking for a motive of a madman, and might never find one.

He lived in Las Vegas and had no significant criminal background. He was born in Hawaii.

In his suicide note, he alleged he suffered from CTE, a brain disease linked to head trauma, one source told CNN. He asked that his brain be studied. In his suicide note, he allegedly wrote, “You can’t go against the NFL, they’ll squash you.” CTE is tied to hits to the head that you see in some football players. [In an update on July 29, 12:20, Tamura tried to get into the NFL headquarters but took a wrong turn.]

He shot himself in the chest at the end after shooting people in the lobby and then shooting rounds on the 33rd floor, killing one additional person.

Tamura was licensed o carry in Vegas and used a M4 rifle to kill his victims.

As I suggested, the people screaming “Free Palestine,” were radical protesters in the same location and had nothing to do with the shooter.

Didarul Islam, a 36-year-old New York Police Department officer, was among four people killed Monday evening in Midtown Manhattan when a gunman stormed the lobby of the sprawling 345 Park Avenue office tower and opened fire.

Islam, an immigrant from Bangladesh who New York officials have described as a hero, leaves behind two young sons and his wife – who is pregnant with their third child.

The courageous officer came here for a better life.

Update at 10:40 pm ET: This might be an act of terrorism. The shooting allegedly took place on the 33rd floor. 

At 6:30, the shooter entered the building at 345 Park Ave. When he entered, he shot several on the main floor, including the officer who was killed and an officer who is wounded. He went to the 33rd floor, killed one person and himself.

The shooter is Shane Tamura who has a mental health issue. He used an M4 rifle and had a revolver in his car.

There was no mention of the killer being a terrorist during the 10:30 pm press conference. Greg Kelly reported it was terrorism but that could have to do with the Palestine protesters who were in or around the building but probably not connected to the killer. It still feels like a domestic situation or something along those lines.

Original Story

A shooter who stormed into a building in Midtown Manhattan has killed himself. You can see him walking into the building with the rifle in the photo below. He is clearly not white, but CNN said he was “most likely white.”

It looks like a targeted assault. He walked into the building and headed for 33rd floor. He was not a current employee.

The shooter was potentially identified as Shane D. Tamura, who was living in Las Vegas. The police have not confirmed this.
An off-duty male police officer with two children and a pregnant wife working security was killed and another officer wounded.  There are five people deceased, including the shooter.

The number of deceased or wounded could rise. Mayor Eric Adams said there are people with multiple injuries.

Despite the claims of posters on X, the man does not appear to be Middle Eastern.

According to a witness in a clip on this link, a woman and a man screaming Free Palestine were guilty of something. It seems the shooter was only a lone shooter and the two who were arrested might not have had anything to do with the shooting.

The Story

A male New York City police officer was shot and killed and another was wounded in a shooting in Midtown Manhattan on Monday evening, sources say. The wounded officer was shot but possibly not seriously.

At least three or four civilians were killed, and the suspect died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, law enforcement sources said.

“At this time, the scene has been contained and the lone shooter has been neutralized,” NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said.

Sources say the shooter walked into the 44-story building at 345 Park Ave. just before 6:40 p.m., carrying an AR-style weapon by his side and went to the 33rd floor and opened fire. The officers that were shot were acting in a security capacity at the time, working for Ruden Properties.

The building, which contains offices for Blackstone, the NFL and KPMG, among others, was placed on lockdown and was being evacuated and the area was blocked off, CBS News New York has learned.

This is a developing story and facts could change.

CNN is insane. They report fake news all the time now, and need to have their license taken away. They tried to claim the man was white for no sane reason.

 

Corrected: The information was updated as of 10:40 pm.

That man could have killed man more if he wanted to. He was young, in good shape, and had a powerful weapon.

Ever the war-mongers, CNN reported this individual as “possibly white”! Between MSM and the corrupted Judiciary, I am not sure which is the worse enemy of America.

Once again, the Sentinel is way ahead of the reporting curve on these kinds of stories.
