New York (AP) – Football community members initiated response on Tuesday Shooting in NFL’s Manhattan office Four people died after New York City Mayor Eric Adams, stating that the gunman was trying to reach the part of the building, but took the wrong lift.
Brian Dabol of New York veterans and a couple from Rahim Morris of Atlanta Falcons opened their remarks by reference to shooting.
Referring to the address of the NFL office, “You all saw that 345 parks – tragic.”
Dabol said that he did not have any conversation with the players or employees about the situation or if he was worried about his safety.
“Just want to start addressing the insensitive violence in New York,” Morris said. “Just include our thoughts and prayers, including one of our own.”
Commissioner Roger Goodll told the employees in a memorandum that an NFL employee was seriously injured in the attack and was hospitalized in a stable position.
Goodll said, “We are deeply grateful to law enforcement officers, who responded to this threat quickly and decisively and for the officer Islam, who gave their lives to protect others.”
Goodll praised the Swift law enforcement response and honored the NYPD officer killed in the attack. He said that in New York, employees were instructed to work far away or take a day off, and there would be additional security.
“Each of you is a valuable member of the NFL family,” said Goodll. “We will meet together through it.”
Investigators believe that Shane Tamura of Las Vegas was trying to go to NFL offices After shooting many people On Monday but accidentally entered the wrong set of lift banks, Adams said in the interview.
Four people were killed, including New York City police officer Didarul Islam. Police said Tamura had a history of mental illness, and a gambling note found on his body suggested that he had a complaint on a claim against NFL that he was suffering from chronic painful encephalopathy, a degenerative brain disease that could be diagnosed only after someone dies.
Tamura played high school football in California almost two decades ago but never in NFL.
