NYPD investigates a shooting in Manhattan, where Shane Tamura, 27, used an AR-15-style rifle to kill four individuals, including an officer and an executive from financial firm Blackstone, before committing suicide.
According to CNN, Tamura left a suicide note expressing concerns about the NFL’s handling of brain injuries.
Investigators found documents in Tamura’s wallet requesting a study of his brain for chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
He had a history of mental illness and played football in high school. The NFL has withheld comment while the investigation unfolds.
Investigation Continues
Detectives are questioning associates linked to Tamura, as surveillance video shows him entering the building with the weapon. Police are also examining his vehicle, which contained additional firearms and medication.
Tamura arrived in NYC after travelling from Las Vegas, where he was employed at the Horseshoe Casino Hotel. His erratic behaviour raised concerns, as he failed to report for work before the shooting occurred.
