Four people, including a New York Police Department officer, were killed in today’s shooting in Midtown Manhattan, a law enforcement official told CNN.

The shooter, tentatively identified as a 27-year-old from Las Vegas, is also dead from what police believe is a self-inflicted injury.

 

The shooting occurred at a 634-foot skyscraper, located at 345 Park Avenue, that includes corporate offices for the National Football League and Blackstone.

I never have the right words for situations like this. Makes me sad and pissed though.

Saw a report that the shooter said he had CTE and mentioned the NFL in a note found. 

 

Mayor Eric Adams said on Tuesday morning that the authorities “have reason to believe that he was focused on the N.F.L.,” which has offices at the tower, 345 Park Avenue. A three-page note found on the gunman mentioned the league, as well as claims that the man had suffered from the degenerative brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or C.T.E., from playing football, the police said. It asks that his brain be examined for signs of C.T.E. and accuses the league of concealing the dangers of the game. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/07/29/nyregion/nyc-shooting-manhattan?campaign_id=60&emc=edit_na_20250729&instance_id=159456&nl=breaking-news&regi_id=124688203&segment_id=202830&user_id=7d4d7d8af86b7cc8b09f3e6e69dc941f

Fwiw, Bloomberg News is reporting the CTE part of the story. However they also mention long time mental illness of the shooter
