On Monday, July 28, 2025, a mass shooting took place in New York, resulting in the deaths of four individuals, while one sustained serious injuries. The perpetrator, 27-year-old Shane Tamura, himself obtained the firearm that he used during the attack. He traveled from Las Vegas to New York, covering over 2500 miles, and had a permit for carrying a firearm.

Tamura arrived in New York on Monday evening, where he immediately went to the lobby of the building at 345 Park Avenue. During the attack, he opened fire, killing a police officer, the executive director of Blackstone, a security guard, and a worker from Rudin Management. After this, he ascended to the 33rd floor, where he continued shooting, first aiming at himself.

Law enforcement discovered that Tamura had problems with mental health and had recently submitted a request for help due to strange behavior in a casino. His parents did not comment on the situation, while police clarify how he managed to get a job in security, considering his past.
