NFL Headquarters Was Targeted By Office Building Shooter, NYC Mayor Eric Adams Says

The NFL's headquarters in New York City was intended as the target for the gunman who attacked a Manhattan office building on Monday, according to New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

Speaking to the media on Tuesday morning about the attack, Adams said investigators believe the gunman was trying to target the NFL offices but took the wrong elevator.

"He seemed to have blamed the NFL," Adams said. "The NFL headquarters was located in the building, and he mistakenly went up the wrong elevator bank."

Per CNN.com, Shane Devon Tamura killed four people before fatally shooting himself after entering the building around 6:30 p.m. ET.

A fifth person, an employee of the NFL, was seriously injured in the shooting and is in stable condition at the hospital, according to a staff memo from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

The NFL offices are located on floors five through eight of the 44-story building. Tamura got on the elevator that took him up to the 33rd-floor offices where Rudin Management, the company that owns the building, is located.
