A bizarre story unfolded in New York. The NFL offices were targeted by a crazed gunman late on Monday.

Four people sadly lost their lives in the attack.The gunman, Shane Tamura, is believed to have targeted the National Football League's facilities in the heart of Manhattan.Investigators believe Tamura's goal was to reach the NFL offices after the front desk shooting, but he allegedly took the wrong elevator.

“He seems to have blamed the NFL. The NFL's head offices were in this building and he took the wrong elevator,” said New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

According to reports, the murderer wanted to deliver specific documents to NFL authorities. Tamura had a three-page letter saying he was suffering from Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy and asked for his brain to be studied. The message stated that he had CTE, a neurodegenerative disease caused by repeated head trauma, often associated with contact sports such as football

Early Monday evening, a gunman opened fire in a corporate building, killing a security guard and wounding a civilian.

According to Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, images captured by surveillance cameras show the suspect, identified as Tamura, getting out of a BMW shortly before 6:30 pm. Armed with an M4 assault rifle, he calmly crossed the public plaza towards the targeted building.

Once inside, the man began shooting without warning, spreading panic among employees and visitors. One of the first to be hit was a policeman assigned to the building's security, who succumbed to his injuries on the spot.
