Midtown NYC Shooting: According to authorities, a shooting inside a Midtown Manhattan office complex that contains major financial organizations and the National Football League (NFL) headquarters has left at least five people dead, including a New York authorities Department (NYPD) officer and the alleged assailant.
At a press conference late Monday, New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch informed reporters that the incident, which occurred at 345 Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan at around 6 p.m. local time (22:00 GMT) on Monday, is still under “active investigation.”
Was the NFL building the target of Shane Tamura?
Many people conjectured that Shane D. Tamura targeted the NFL headquarters because of his unsuccessful football career after internet sleuths unearthed documents of his high school football performance. There is no proof of it, though, as Tamura’s records indicate that he continued playing football after high school and did not even consider declaring for the NFL draft. He played football for the Granada Hills Varsity boy’s team after playing for the Golden Valley junior varsity squad in Santa Clarita, California, during his high school years.
