Mayor Adams: NYC Shooter May Have Been Targeting the NFL
The shooter blamed the NFL for him supposedly having CTE even though there’s no evidence he played for the NFL.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams told Fox 5 New York that Shane Tamura might have targeted the NFL.
Tamura killed three civilians and a police officer and critically injured another on Monday night in Midtown Manhattan.
Didarul Islam, 36, was an officer for four years. He leaves behind a wife and two young boys.
Islam’s wife is pregnant with their third child.
Authorities also said one of the victims was Blackstone executive Wesley LePartner, a married mom of two.
345 Park Avenue houses the NFL headquarters.
From Fox 5 New York:
Adams also said the shooter blamed the NFL and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) for his mental state, though he never played in the league.
Adams said police were still going through the suicide note.
“We’re still going through the suicide note to zero in on the exact reason, but at this time it appears as though something that is attached to his belief he experienced CTE from playing in the NFL,” Adams said.
However, Tamura went to the wrong floor:
Although the building houses NFL offices, investigators believe Tamura mistakenly went to the wrong floor.
“There are two different elevator banks, and as you know, anyone has seen many of our corporate buildings, some banks don’t go to every floor,” Adams said. “He appeared to have gone to the wrong bank, and he ended up on the floor of Rudin Management. And you see on the videos that he discharged the weapons several times.”
According to Adams, surveillance footage clearly shows Tamura ended up on the wrong elevator line.
“He appeared to have gone to the wrong floor and, due to the room elevator bank… you can see on the front desk which elevator bank was the NFL. But he did not go to that bank,” the mayor said.
Investigators have not found evidence that Tamura ever played for the NFL or that he had CTE.

CNN : “Possibly white” killer.
Totally unfair. This cracker clearly identified as white, possessing a concealed carry permit and everything. There’s information that he had a Starbucks card, loved Tim McGraw and always ordered extra mayonnaise on his sandwiches.
Rumor has it he was nice to his mother and had empathy for stray kittens.
Possibly an escapee from The Planet of the Apes.
He’s so white he can gain entry to any country club in the USA.
I would not automatically rule out brain disease or injury. I hope he gets his wish. I still think about the Texas Tower shooter..
Sometimes it isn’t politics.
Why did LI decide to publish this article? It seems outside LI’s usual subject matter.
I’m always appreciative of a heads-up that some sh*tlib is gonna be coming after all us white cracker’s guns again this week.
man,,you cant get nothing past that mayor adams
and this just in from his office
oswald may have been targeting jfk
“legally” possessed a gun
dont forget leftys agenda
they want mental cases to have the ability to make legal gun purchases so when their nutjobs shoot up the place lefty can proclaim
yup. bought legally
so they have yet another tactic to blame legal gun ownership
thats why in cases all over the usa the judges will manyyyyy times
drop gun charges against already convicted felons
NYC official said he used an “M4 Assault Rifle”. Of course he didn’t as that can’t be legally owned (post-1986 manufacture) by a private citizen but the charade continues. The formula for “success” continues as promised by the Left. “We’ll make you famous” if you do this.
lefty will stop at nothing to win
we cant afford to lose this wa r
No. In cases where gun charges are dropped by the prosecution, it’s generally because they have the perp cold on one or more tougher charges, and the gun charges are used as a trading chip to get a straight plea. When the gun charges do get used, it’s usually because they have NOTHING else on the perp that will stick, and it’s the charge of last resort. Like “resisting arrest” or “impeding law enforcement.”
So, it’s WIll Smith’s fault.
I didn’t think anyone even saw that movie.
didnt see that movie but it does raise an interesting point
if chris rock starts to get dementia or any other brain issues
will he have a case against smith for that slap?
I’ll see your CTE and raise you one “appears white” card.
Nonsense…the NFL doesn’t allow targeting without a 15 yard penalty and an ejection!
I hate people such as the perp. Suicidal and narcissistic losers who unfairly blame others for their problems (whether real or perceived), and who, instead of offing themselves in anonymity, decide to commit mass murder before killing themselves, in a final act of destructive and evil narcissism.
Well, they’re crazy.
You can’t keep guns out of their hands, even though Democrats pretend they want to.
You can’t keep ballots out of the hands either, and Democrats don’t even pretend they want to.
It’s “explosive cowardice”, to my mind.
