The four victims who were killed by a gunman inside a Midtown Manhattan office building on Monday night have been identified.
The Rudin family, which owns the building and Rudin Management, said in a statement that one of their employees was a victim of the shootings but did not disclose the person’s name at the request of relatives. Police officials said a woman was found dead on the building’s 33rd floor in Rudin’s offices.
The shooter, identified as 27-year-old Shane Tamura of Las Vegas, left a suicide note suggesting he had CTE and was targeting the NFL headquarters, officials say.
At the height of the evening rush, a man double-parked his BMW on Park Avenue, calmly strode across a public plaza with an assault-style rifle in his hand, stepped into the lobby and opened fire. Glass shattered in the lobby and bodies lay still. Office workers sprinted out of the building or scrambled for cover.
