A tragic shooting occurred on the evening of July 28, 2025, in a prominent office building in Midtown Manhattan, resulting in the deaths of four individuals. A fifth person sustained critical injuries. The gunman, identified as Shane Tamura, 27, from Las Vegas, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after the incident, according to New York City officials.
This distressing event took place at a location that houses several high-profile tenants, including the National Football League (NFL) and major financial firms such as KPMG and Blackstone. During a briefing, New York City Mayor Eric Adams confirmed that an officer from the New York Police Department, identified as Didarul Islam, was among the deceased. Mayor Adams described Officer Islam as a dedicated public servant who exemplified the best of the department.
According to New York Police Department Commissioner Jessica Tisch, the shooter arrived armed with an M4 rifle. Surveillance footage revealed that he shot at a woman who sought refuge behind a pillar in the lobby. The assailant then continued to fire indiscriminately, targeting a security guard who was attempting to take cover behind his desk and another man in the area before accessing an elevator.
The shooter ultimately took his own life on the 33rd floor, where the headquarters of Rudin, the building’s ownership, is located, after fatally shooting one additional person. Commissioner Tisch noted that authorities in Las Vegas reported that Tamura had a documented history of mental health issues, while the motives behind the shooting remain under investigation.
In a statement, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell confirmed that an NFL employee was critically injured in the attack but is currently in stable condition at a local hospital. The FBI has dispatched agents to the scene to provide support to the NYPD. Additionally, Attorney General Pam Bondi indicated that U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton has established a command post to coordinate the response to the shooting.
As investigations continue, the focus remains on understanding the circumstances surrounding this tragic event and providing support to the victims and their families.
