MIDTOWN MANHATTAN, NEW YORK CITY, JUL 30 – Shane Tamura, who blamed chronic traumatic encephalopathy for his actions, killed five including an NYPD officer and a Blackstone executive before dying by suicide, police said.
- On Monday evening, Shane Devon Tamura, the shooter, killed five people at 345 Park Avenue before dying by suicide on the 33rd floor.

- Following the shooting, Goodell sent staff a memo offering the option to work remotely or take the day off in response to the incident.
