New York City police responded on Monday evening to reports of an armed suspect on Park Avenue in Manhattan who shot and killed four people and injured another. The gunman later died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Police reported that an NYPD officer was among those killed in the shooting. The NYPD officer was identified as Didarul Islam. Islam, an immigrant from Bangladesh, was working off-hours as a security guard at the time, said New York mayor Eric Adams during Monday night’s news conference.

Jessica Tisch, the New York City police commissioner, confirmed that “the lone shooter has been neutralized." New York police also said the shooter acted alone and was dead.

Tisch identified the shooter as 27-year-old Shane Devon Tamura of Las Vegas.

Sequence of events

Tisch said that surveillance videos showed the gunman exiting a double-parked Black BMW between 51st and 52nd street on Park Avenue.

The shooter allegedly opened fire immediately after entering the building’s lobby, shooting multiple people. Police said that the gunman let a woman exit the elevator unharmed, and then took the elevator to the 33rd floor, the offices of Rudin Management Company, a behemoth New York real estate firm.

Tisch said that the gunman opened fire on the 33rd floor and killed one person. The gunman then went to the stairwell and shot himself with an assault rifle, she said.

Photographs show people exiting the building around 7 pm ET with hands raised.

Tisch said that the NYPD found weapons in the parked BMW, as well as a prescription in Tamura’s name.

Tisch said Tamura entered the office fresh after driving across the country, making stops in Colorado, Nebraska, and Iowa. Tamura’s final alleged stop was in New Jersey at 4.24 pm ET.

The NYPD claimed Tamura had a history of mental issues in Las Vegas, according to Nevada law enforcement. The NYPD believes that the shooting was an isolated incident.

'Horrific shooting'

US House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries expressed his concern over the “horrific shooting” and said he was “praying hard” for the NYPD officer.

“May God watch over our city during this challenging moment,” Jeffries wrote in a post.

The office building at 345 Park Avenue occupies an entire city block and houses the corporate offices for the National Football League and the headquarters of investment firm Blackstone. It also holds offices for JP Morgan Chase.

According to an ESPN reporter, Jeff Darlington, an NFL security alert was sent to employees: “Do not exit the building. Secure your location and hide until law enforcement clears your floor. Please switch phones to silent.”

This shooting is the 254th mass shooting in the US this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit that tracks gun-related violence, which defines a mass shooting as an incident in which four or more people, excluding the shooter, are killed or injured by firearms.
