New York City Office Shooting Leaves 4 Dead, Including Police Officer
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

A deadly shooting spree rocked Midtown Manhattan on Monday evening when Shane Tamura, a 27-year-old from Las Vegas, stormed a Park Avenue office building with an assault-style rifle, killing four people (including NYPD Officer Didarul Islam) before taking his own life. The attack sent terrified workers barricading doors with furniture as gunfire echoed through the 33-floor tower housing the NFL headquarters, Blackstone, and KPMG.

Officer Islam, a 36-year-old Bangladeshi immigrant and father of two with another child on the way, was working security detail when Tamura shot him in the lobby. “He died a hero,” said NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch, praising his three-and-a-half years of service. Three other victims remain unidentified, while a fifth survivor is in critical but stable condition. Witnesses described Tamura “spraying” the lobby with bullets before ascending to the 33rd floor, where he killed another victim and then fatally shot himself.

Police traced Tamura’s double-parked vehicle outside the building, discovering multiple magazine rounds and a revolver. The Nevada-registered car and Tamura’s status as a registered gun owner in the state raised questions about how he transported weapons across state lines. Authorities confirmed Tamura had documented mental health issues but are still investigating his motive for targeting the financial district skyscraper.

The attack triggered a massive NYPD response, with scores of officers swarming the area near Grand Central Terminal. “We heard pops—like fireworks but sharper,” said Mama Bouhenni, a worker at nearby Sip & Scoop coffee shop, who watched evacuees exit with hands raised. Subway lines were suspended during the hours-long building sweep, stranding commuters. A BBC journalist at the scene reported seeing bloodied victims carried on stretchers as police ordered bystanders to shelter in place.

Why It Matters

The shooting marks the latest incident in a surge of gun violence in American workplaces, with high-profile buildings now facing heightened security reviews. The NFL and corporate tenants declined to comment on safety protocols, but the attack has reignited debates over gun control laws and mental health checks for firearm owners. Commissioner Tisch emphasized that Officer Islam’s sacrifice exemplified the risks law enforcement faces daily: “He was doing the job we asked him to do.”
