STORYLINE:
A gunman who killed four people at a Manhattan office building before killing himself claimed in a note to have a brain disease linked to contact sports and was trying to target the National Football League’s headquarters but took the wrong elevator, officials said Tuesday.
Investigators believe Shane Tamura, of Las Vegas, was trying to get up to the NFL offices after shooting several people in the lobby on Monday but entered the wrong elevator bank, Mayor Eric Adams said in interviews.
Four people were killed, including an off-duty New York City police officer, Didarul Islam.
Outside of Islam’s home Tuesday, neighbors and relatives reacted to his death.
"He was a good man. He was a good brother. He was a good husband. He was a good son to his parents. He was always there for everyone. And he always showed up every time anyone needed any help he was always there. And, yeah, we lost him and didn’t deserve to die that early," said Ashfaqur Rahman, a relative of Islam.
