The man who unleashed chaos inside a Midtown Manhattan office tower on Monday afternoon has been identified as Shane Tamura, a 27-year-old licensed private investigator from Las Vegas who once dreamed of a life in football.
Authorities say Tamura arrived in Manhattan by car on Monday, parked around the corner and walked into 345 Park Avenue in the heart of Midtown Manhattan with a concealed weapon permit issued by the Las Vegas Sheriff's Department.
Tamura headed straight into the building, strolling across a wide city plaza with his rifle in plain sight.
What followed was a terrifying and targeted shooting spree that killed five. Police believe was the shooting was premeditated and likely suicidal.
'It appears that he knew it would be his last stand,' said CNN chief law enforcement analyst John Miller, a former NYPD deputy commissioner.
'He fully intended to shoot his way through the lobby and make his way to that target - whatever that might have been.'
The building, home to major corporate tenants including the NFL's headquarters, became the scene of a frantic lockdown as gunshots echoed through the corridors and heavily armed police teams swarmed the floors.
While the league's offices are housed in the tower, sources confirmed Tamura was not on the NFL floor.
Nevertheless, investigators are looking into into whether he was targeting the NFL offices based at that building.

Mental illness is rampant in our culture, with or without the aid of ‘medications’.
When you allow your culture to become trite, meaningless and uninspiring, drugs aren’t needed to make people crazy.
If anything, many people resort to drugs precisely because of the emptiness of the culture.

They got that data real quickly.
How? They only started searching when he was done shooting.
Can they track any of us that quickly?

Not knowing doesn’t stop them from declaring their theories.
I just think everyone should just wait, instead of trying to fill airtime.

I haven’t heard anyone on Fox say ‘assault’ rifle. I’ve heard them say ‘AR’ or ‘AR style’.
I don’t know who the ‘Fox moron’ you reference is; was it a regular, or some ‘guest expert’?
I suspect that most of the regulars on Fox are gun owners and wouldn’t make that mistake.

Something to do with him being a violent obsessive schizophrenic.
Great point.
Having a CCW for work as a security guard in a casino makes eminent sense. But how did a guy with a history of mental illness get a permit for a full-auto M4???
Permit?
No such thing, only an unconstitutional transfer tax.
