"Shane Tamura, who carried out a fatal shooting attack at a Manhattan office tower housing the National Football League, showed evidence of early-stage degenerative brain disease tied to repeated blows to the head, according to New York City's chief medical examiner. The shooter had left a note at the crime scene accusing the NFL of abandoning players with head injuries and asked that his brain be examined for chronic traumatic encephalopathy."
"On July 28, Tamura carried out one of the deadliest mass shootings in New York in recent years. The attack began in the lobby of 345 Park Avenue, where he fatally shot Didarul Islam, a three-year veteran of the Police Department who had emigrated from Bangladesh. Investigators believe his intended target was the NFL's office on the fifth floor, but he entered the wrong elevator bank and was carried instead to the 33rd floor."
