Authorities have released a detailed timeline of events leading to the tragic shooting at a Manhattan office building. Shane Tamura, 27, arrived at the scene after traveling across the country, with his car being tracked through various states. The incident, which happened during rush hour, resulted in the deaths of several individuals, including an NYPD officer and others. The shooter, who was later found dead by suicide, had a reported grievance against the NFL, possibly related to a claim of chronic traumatic encephalopathy. Investigations are ongoing to determine his exact motivations and the full sequence of events.
Pat Brosnan, a former NYPD detective, pointed out the unsettling calm with which Tamura approached the building. He described the shooter as ‘strutting across the plaza,’ appearing confident and unfazed. The security footage, which is crucial to the investigation, revealed the shooter’s methodical approach. With the help of surveillance from various toll booths and pit stops, authorities are retracing the steps that led Tamura to the building. The findings from this footage, alongside any electronic evidence and crime scene analysis, will be instrumental in piecing together the story behind the attack. Despite the efforts of law enforcement, the speed at which the shooting unfolded made it challenging to intervene, according to Brosnan.
Mayor Eric Adams suggested that the shooter might have been targeting the NFL, but the incident occurred at Rudin Management’s office instead. Adams praised the building’s safety measures, including a secure bathroom with a bulletproof door. The investigation is also expanding to Las Vegas, where Tamura’s residence and gun purchase are being examined. As the search for answers continues, the community and authorities remain focused on understanding the tragic events and ensuring such incidents are prevented in the future.
