Manhattan shooter identified as Shane Tamura; had gun permit revoked in 2022 – Who was he?

Shane Tamura, armed with a rifle and wearing a bullet-resistant vest, opened fire inside the building housing the NFL headquarters and major financial firms including Blackstone, killing multiple victims including a police officer before taking his own life on the 33rd floor.

Authorities confirmed that Shane Tamura’s firearm permit had been revoked in 2022. The incident ended after police contained the situation, with the shooter neutralised by his self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Shane Tamura was seen entering the New York skyscraper, that houses the NFL headquarters and offices of several major financial firms, including hedge fund giant Blackstone.

Shane Tamura has been ‘neutralised’ according to New York Police Commissioner.

“Five people, including a New York Police Department officer, were killed in today’s shooting in Midtown Manhattan,” a law enforcement source told broadcaster CNN, adding the suspected gunman died from what is believed to be a “self-inflicted injury.”
