Gunfire incident in New York - perpetrator no longer alive
In a tragic turn of events, a shooting incident occurred on July 28, 2025, in Manhattan, New York, at the 345 Park Avenue office building. The suspect, identified as Shane D. Tamura, a 27-year-old man from Las Vegas, entered the high-rise building just before 6:40 p.m., armed with an AR-style or M4 rifle, wearing body armor.
Tamura opened fire on the 33rd floor, where he shot multiple people. He also caused casualties in the lobby and elevator bank. The NYPD Commissioner, Jessica Tisch, confirmed that the suspect was neutralized, and the scene was secured after a floor-by-floor police search.
The building houses offices of major firms such as Blackstone, the NFL, and KPMG. The motive behind the shooting remains unclear, but a note found on Tamura mentioned chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and appeared to target the NFL.
The shooting has claimed the lives of four people, including one NYPD officer, and injured several others, including two NYPD officers and two civilians. The FBI is assisting in the ongoing investigation.
The incident has renewed calls for stricter gun laws, with officials and the public focusing on the ease of access to assault-style weapons. Mayor Eric Adams and the NYPD have urged measures to prevent similar incidents and have called for heightened vigilance. The lack of significant progress towards stricter gun laws in the past years has been a topic of discussion.
This remains a developing story, with investigations ongoing and further details expected.
