Shane Tamura, the shooter behind the deadly rampage in Midtown Manhattan,​ was apparently targeting NFL offices, NYC Mayor Eric Adams says.

Adams told reporters that investigators believe Shane Tamura of Las Vegas entered the building with the intent to reach the NFL 's offices but accessed the wrong set of elevator banks. "He seemed to have blamed the NFL ," Adams said. "The NFL headquarters was located in the building, and he mistakenly went up the wrong elevator bank."

Eric Adams said on a Tuesday morning appearance that a note found on the gunman mentioned the league and referenced CTE.
