New York Shooting Suspect Exposed: Asian-American Mixed-Race Former Football Star Sparks Nightmare in Manhattan

A deadly shooting occurred in New York City on Monday (28th), resulting in the deaths of five people, including one police officer. Multiple media outlets reported that the suspect had attended two high schools in Southern California.

The shooting took place inside an office building in Midtown Manhattan, which is home to the National Football League (NFL) and several top financial companies.

According to city government information, surveillance footage showed that the suspect was Shane Tamura, a resident of Nevada. He drove a BMW to the scene and parked illegally in front of the building. He entered the building with an M4 rifle, first shooting a New York City police officer and a woman who tried to hide. He then opened fire wildly in the lobby.

It was reported that he later shot a security guard hiding near the elevator and took the elevator to the 33rd floor, where he killed another person. After that, he walked into the corridor and committed suicide by shooting himself.

Police stated that Tamura has a long history of mental health issues and holds a concealed carry permit in Nevada. He attended Golden Valley High School in Santa Clarita, northern Los Angeles, and Granada Hills Charter High School. During his high school years, he was an outstanding football player.

In 2017, as a teenager, Tamura was interviewed by the Los Angeles Daily News. At that time, he scored a game-winning touchdown in the last four minutes of a game against John F. Kennedy High School, helping his team achieve a thrilling victory.

The motive for this shooting is still unclear. NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a press conference that investigators are working to determine why Tamura chose this location as his target.

The incident is still under development, and further reports will be updated after more information is released.
