The crazed gunman who killed an NYPD officer and three other people in a Midtown skyscraper on Monday evening was carrying a note in his pocket that expressed grievances with the NFL and claimed he suffered from CTE – a brain injury linked to head trauma, sources told The Post.
Shane Tamura, 27, cited the NFL in the writings, which were found after he fatally shot himself in the chest on the 33rd floor of 345 Park Ave. – a swanky skyscraper that houses the football league’s headquarters.

The mentally ill shooter wanted to shoot up the NFL HQ — but “mistakenly went up the wrong elevator banks” and ended up on a higher floor, Mayor Eric Adams confirmed Tuesday.
In the ramblings, which was several pages long, Tamura blamed football for his apparent struggle with the neurodegenerative disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and pleaded for his brain to be studied in the wake of the massacre, law enforcement sources said.

The NFL has offices on floors five through eight of the Park Avenue high-rise, and one of its employees was among those shot, though not fatally..
Mayor Adams confirmed early Tuesday that Tamura’s note “alluded to having CTE from playing NFL” — even though “he never played in the NFL.”

Shortly after the shooting, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch directly called executives at Blackstone – another notable tenant in the skyscraper – to inform them that they weren’t the intended targets, sources said.
