"The gunman who killed four people during a mass shooting at a Midtown office building in July suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, the city's medical examiner said Friday. The Office of Chief Medical Examiner said it found unambiguous diagnostic evidence of the trauma-induced neurodegenerative disease in the brain tissue of Shane Tamura, 27, of Las Vegas. Tamura died by suicide after opening fire inside 345 Park Ave., which houses the NFL's headquarters, on July 28."
"Another page referred to former NFL player Terry Long, who died by suicide in 2005. Tamura wrote that Terry Long football gave me CTE, and it caused me to drink a gallon of antifreeze. You can't go against the NFL, they'll squash you. Please study the brain for CTE. I'm sorry the league knowingly concealed the dangers to our brains to maximize profits. They failed us."
Officials found unambiguous diagnostic evidence of trauma-induced neurodegenerative disease in the brain tissue of Shane Tamura, 27, consistent with low-stage chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Tamura opened fire inside 345 Park Ave., which houses the NFL's headquarters, on July 28, killing four people before dying by suicide. Police recovered three handwritten pages from Tamura's wallet, including a page marked 'My Daily Affirmations' that asked researchers to study his brain for CTE and referenced former NFL player Terry Long. A 2023 Boston University study found more than 90% of examined deceased former NFL players had CTE. CTE diagnoses can only be confirmed after death.
