New York Mayor Eric Adams said that mass shooting suspect Shane Tamura intended to go to the NFL offices on the lower floors of the Park Avenue office building.

Speaking on Fox 5’s Good Day New York this morning, Adams said that he “appeared to have gone to the wrong floor.”

After opening fire in the building’s lobby, Tamura allegedly took an elevator up to the 33rd floor, where he continued firing rounds.

“There are two different elevator banks,” he continued. “Some banks don’t go to every floor. He appeared to have gone to the wrong bank, and he ended up on the floor of Rudin Management.”

It comes after reports that investigators found a note in Tamura’s pocket sharing grievances with the NFL and claiming that he suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).

“Terry Long football gave me CTE and it caused me to drink a gallon of antifreeze,” the piece of paper read, according to CNN. “You can’t go against the NFL, they’ll squash you.”

The motivations behind the attack were not immediately clear.

Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, is reportedly heading for Manhattan this morning from Uganda, a source told The New York Times.

Mamdani was celebrating his recent wedding and visiting family in the East African nation.

The suspected shooter Shane Tamura was a talented football player during his high school days, former teammates have said.

On the field, the Tamura was considered an “elusive” running back, former Granada Hills Charter School coach Walter Roby told NBC News.

Off the field, a teenage Tamura was considered the “class clown.”

Caleb Clarke, a former classmate and high school football teammate, played with Tamura at a Santa Clarita high school before he transferred to Grenada Hills.

He told NBC News that Tamura “was the biggest goofball in the world, just a ton of energy, class clown.”

Clarke said he didn’t recall Tamura being a troublemaker in school.

“You never would have thought violence was something you’d associate with him,” he said.

In respect of the Didarul Islam, the NYPD officer who was killed in yesterday’s mass shooting in Midtown Manhattan, Eric Adams has ordered all flags on New York City government buildings be lowered to half-staff, effective immediately, as a gesture of mourning and respect.

Just hours before four people were shot dead inside 345 Park Avenue on Monday evening, police said that Shane Tamura arrived in Manhattan.

The 27-year-old shooting suspect drove his BMW an estimated 2,500 miles across the country over several days after leaving his home in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Saturday.

Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch told reporters Monday that Tamura’s car passed through Colorado on Saturday, then Nebraska and Iowa on Sunday before arriving in New York City on Monday.

It was not clear why Tamura was in New York City or what had motivated him to open fire inside the building, home to the offices of several high-powered companies, including the investment giant Blackstone, the NFL and accounting firm KPMG.

Chris Raia, the assistant director in charge of the FBI’s New York field office, vowed to bring the “full force” of the agency in the probe into Monday’s shooting in Midtown Manhattan.

“You have the full force of FBI New York and full force of FBI to get to the bottom of the answers,” he told reporters on Monday.

Raia said the investigation into suspect Shane Tamura’s motives is underway, but “initial checks of our internal systems have not revealed any information about the subject.”

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said an NFL employee was seriously injured in the Park Avenue mass shooting.

“As has been widely reported, a gunman committed an unspeakable act of violence in our building at 345 Park Avenue. One of our employees was seriously injured in this attack. He is currently in the hospital and in stable condition,” he wrote in a message to employees.

NFL staff were at the hospital supporting the worker’s family, he said.

Goodell added he believes that all other employees “are otherwise safe and accounted for.”

Top New York officials have paid tribute to NYPD officer Didarul Islam, who was shot dead during Monday’s mass shooting in Midtown Manhattan.

“Officer Didarul Islam represented the very best of New York,” Governor Kathy Hochul wrote on X late on Monday. “An immigrant from Bangladesh, he joined the NYPD to protect his city — and gave his life doing so.”

New York City Mayor Eric Adams tweeted that Didarul “represented the best of New York City, an immigrant from Bangladesh who put on a uniform to protect and serve us all.”

New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch wrote: “May Police Officer Didarul Islam’s memory be a blessing.”

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said he is “praying hard for the brave NYPD officer impacted and all other victims of this tragedy.”

GOP congressman Mike Lawler tweeted: “I’m devastated by the senseless killing of an NYPD officer and innocent civilians in Midtown.”
