NYPD Officer, Executive Among 4 Killed in Manhattan Shooting

A shooting at the Midtown Manhattan office building located at 345 Park Avenue, which houses major firms like Blackstone and the National Football League headquarters, resulted in four deaths including a New York City police officer working private security. The 27-year-old gunman, Shane Tamura of Nevada, entered the building during rush hour armed with an M4 rifle and immediately opened fire in the lobby, killing the officer and two civilians before proceeding to the 33rd floor where he killed another person and then himself. Several others were injured in the incident, and the building was placed on lockdown as police conducted a floor-by-floor search. Authorities, including the NYPD and FBI, are investigating the motive behind the attack, which is considered one of the most serious assaults on law enforcement in New York in recent memory. Mayor Eric Adams and Governor Kathy Hochul have been briefed, with the Mayor visiting hospitals to speak with victims' families. The situation caused panic in the busy area and prompted shelter-in-place orders for NFL employees and others in the building.
