We lost four souls to another senseless act of gun violence, including a member of the New York

City Police Department, officer Islam.

He served in the 47th precinct.

He was just 36 years old. He's an immigrant from Bangladesh,

and he loved this city. He's a chew blue New Yorker, not only in a uniform he wore,

I told them that he was a hero, and we admire him for putting his life on the line.

I was New York City Mayor Eric Adams late last night honoring a fallen NYPD officer.

He's one of four people shot and killed yesterday in Midtown Manhattan.

killing a New York City police officer and three civilians before fatally shooting himself.

Video shows a chaotic scene outside the Park Avenue skyscraper, which houses offices for

major companies like the NFL and the investment firm Blackstone.

The lone gunman has been identified as 27-year-old Shane Devon Tamura from Las Vegas.

Police say he has a documented history of mental health issues. According to officials familiar

with the investigation, the suspect left a note at the shooting scene where he mentioned his

mental illness may be linked to CTE from playing football. Investigators are now looking

into whether that may be why he targeted this particular

building.

But they stress the investigation is early and still ongoing.
