An NFL employee was also &#8220;seriously injured&#8221; in the attack, the league&#8217;s commissioner Roger Goodell wrote in a message to staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Asked about a possible motive, Adams told CBS: &#8220;[He] did have a note on him. The note alluded to that he felt he had CTE, a known brain injury for those who participate in contact sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;He appeared to have blamed the NFL for his injury.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tamura was a football player during his time at high school in California, ex-teammates earlier told NBC News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The gunman appears to have driven across the US from Las Vegas to New York, and used an assault-style rifle during the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After opening fire in the lobby, Tamura is believed to have entered a lift to the 33rd floor of the skyscraper and continued to open fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mayor Adams said a preliminary investigation shows that the gunman mistakenly went to the office of Rudin Management, which owns the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tamura later turned his gun on himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The incident brought parts of Midtown Manhattan and public transportation to a halt. A BBC journalist at the scene reported seeing scores of police vehicles and at least one person with a bloodied chest being taken away on a stretcher. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bystanders reported hearing what sounded like gunshots and police told those in the area, including the BBC journalist, to shelter in nearby buildings.  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c2en7k2e77wo\">(BBC)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A gunman who killed four people when he stormed a skyscraper in the heart of New York on Monday evening left a note that appeared to blame the National Football League (NFL) for a brain injury, the city&#8217;s Mayor Eric Adams says.
