Manhattan shooter identified as Shane Tamura, 27, of Las Vegas: What we know about the gunman

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.

“I don’t know who the ‘Fox moron’ you reference is; was it a regular, or some ‘guest expert’?

Well, they do bring in some democrats ...especially on weekends. Then there’s always Tarlov and Williams.

From the article: ...make his way to that target - whatever that might have been.

whatever that might have been?

Like he drove all the way from Las Vegas to shoot up an NFL trophy case or something.

He was there to shoot a person, a human being. A "who", as in "whoever that might have been."

Yes. He likely had his credit card on him...whIch he used in his travels. They run the number and get data very quickly to build a profile. SOP.

An anti-football manifesto in his car, traveled thousands of miles to blast his way into and shoot up the headquarters of the NFL. Ya think they might be linked?

An anti-football manifesto in his car,

Must be this guy:



"Violent ground acquisition games, such as football, is in fact a crypto-fascist metaphor for nuclear war."

Some can’t deal with failure so it must be someone else fault.

It was a “M4 style” rifle. Purchased from Palmetto State Armory.

Maybe he lied on his 4473, or didn’t need one since LVPD gave him a carry permit.

I know I’m unique and special.

Through my piercings, tattoos, hair color and sexual self identity which I have to rub in everyone’s nose like a vegetarian not eating meat, I am one of a kind.

Not sure what you mean? (Sarc)
