NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell told employees in an email early Tuesday morning that one of the league’s employees was seriously injured in a Monday shooting at a Midtown Manhattan office tower.
“A gunman committed an unspeakable act of violence in our building at 345 Park Avenue,” Goodell said. “The employee is in stable condition and NFL staff are at the hospital supporting his family.”
The commissioner said the NFL believes all other employees are safe and accounted for.
The shooting, which was first reported at 6:30 p.m. Monday, was at 345 Park Ave. in New York, where several major businesses — including Blackstone, KPMG and the NFL — are located.
Police said 27-year old Shane Devon Tamura drove from Las Vegas to New York and opened fire at the building, killing four people, including New York police officer Didarul Islam. The suspect also died, according to police. Tamura worked in the surveillance department at Horseshoe Las Vegas, Caesars said.
