New York City Mayor Eric Adams confirmed Tuesday that four people, including an NYPD officer, were killed during a shooting at a building on Park Avenue, calling it another ;senseless act of gun violence\u2019 in the city.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur hearts are heavy,\u201d Adams said, \u201cNo words can describe this act of evil. We will continue to do what we do as a city, and let\u2019s fight to protect innocent New Yorkers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch provided further details, explaining that the shooter, identified as 27-year-old Shane Tamura from Las Vegas, arrived in a black BMW, armed with an M-4 rifle.<\/p>\n
Surveillance footage showed him entering the building\u2019s lobby, where he shot several people before eventually shooting himself on the 33rd floor.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr Tamura has a documented mental health history. We are working to understand why he targeted this particular location. We believe this to be a lone shooter, and there\u2019s no longer an active threat,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
The slain NYPD officer was 36-year-old Didarul Islam, who was working a security detail at the time. Three civilians were also killed; a fourth civilian was wounded.<\/p>\n
Police found Tamura\u2019s vehicle at the scene containing additional weapons and ammunition. Authorities confirmed he held a valid Las Vegas concealed carry permit until 2027. The investigation into his motives is ongoing.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
