Two -hour terror in New York skyscraper

For hundreds of employees in 345 Park Avenue, a prestigious 44 -in -laws in the heart of Midtown Manhattan – a neighborhood packed with offices of key corporations – a neighborhood – on Monday evening suddenly no suddenly no other.

As the passengers built their house to scorch on the evening of July, the workers of the park avenue tower ran for their lives, sending the conference room barricading and sending good messages to the loved ones.

“I read my parents,” I love him, “Jessica Chen, who works on the second floor, told us to the media. “Nothing can describe that feeling.”

Ms. Chen and other people in the skyscraper were motivated to take action with an unexpected sound of bullets coming from the lobby.

Bullets kill four people, including a New York police officer, as well as on the lobby on the other and the 33rd floor. A man lives in critical condition in the hospital.

Shortly before anarchy, around 18:30 EST (23:30 BST), a 27-year-old ran into one of the busiest areas of Manhattan, completed a cross-country car ride through the states of Colorado, Nebraska and Iowa.

Officials say Shane Tamura of Las Vegas doubled his black BMW on Park Avenue – Bus blocks from Rockfeller Center and St. Patrick Cathedral in tourist destinations.

Wearing a jacket, a button-down shirt and sunglasses, he marched with an attack-style rifle with his right hand to the skyscraper towards the skyscraper, where he knew that he was the headquarters of the National Football League (NFL).

But he will never make it in that office.

Instead, when he r

First, Tamura went just behind a stationed officer. But then he turned to the right, saw him and fired, 36 -year -old New York Police Officer Didarul Islam, who left behind two children and a pregnant wife, said Eric Adams, Mayor of New York City.

Adams said, “As soon as he entered the building, he was killed in the entrance to the right.”

Officials say Tamura wasted less time before covering another woman behind a column, made her way through the lobby and continued shooting. Wesley Leptar, who worked above in the financial firm Blackstone, was killed.

“Our prayer is with her husband, children and family,” the company said.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodll wrote to the employees, an NFL employee was “seriously injured” in the attack. Craig Clemente, who worked in the Finance Department, was on the way to his house, when he was shot, his father -in -law Robert Hunter told The New York Daily News. He is now recovering from surgery.

As soon as the bullets continued to get out of the bullets, another security guard tried wasteful to activate an alarm system to disable the lift, possibly to prevent more massacre.

Adams said that the guard, Alund Ainte, was “murdered”, as he had taken the cover behind the counter, said Adams.

After that, the gunman went towards a lift. Police said that as soon as he was waiting for the lift, a woman emerged and somehow allowed her to be taken out.

But the lift he rode will not take him where he intended.

He went to the wrong elevator bank and reached the NFL offices, but to the Real-Estate Company’s 33rd floor offices, who were owners of buildings, Rudin management.

A Blackstone worker told The Wall Street Journal that as soon as anarchy in the lobby came to light, the employees in the building sent emails and Microsoft teams, who was a shooter, a Blackstone worker told The Wall Street Journal.

Ms. Chen told ABC News that she was watching a presentation with about 150 others on the second floor of the skyscraper when she heard the first shots.

“Some went out in the back door, on the road,” he said. “Others including me, we ran to the conference room.”

A picture on social media is seen to show the staff of Blackstone to show piles of couch, desk, and other furniture in front of a door in a panic.

Meanwhile, in NFL offices, according to ESPN, he warned of shelling from the league. Told to silence and hide his phone until the law enforcement came, he used to wait for a shooter who would never be for his goal.

At the plaza outside the Park Avenue Tower, law enforcement flooded the scene.

Neksha Lewis could hear the sound of bullets rapidly from inside the skyscraper, while a friend was sitting nearby. She could see the gunman through the glass, she told NBC News.

Before she knew this, someone ran away from the building “really difficult” and started crying for help, saying that she was shot, Ms. Lewis said.

“Because how firm he was walking, I could not believe it. What he looked like … a exhaust wound in the back.”

She joined others, taking cover behind a wall. As they were waiting, dozens of workers slowly ran away from the building holding their hands above their heads because they were empty.

Meanwhile, inside, Tamura was walking around the 33rd floor, “as he traveled”, firing rounds, Ms. Tish said. He shot and killed his last victim.

Then, officials said, he went down from a hallway and shot himself in the chest.

Tamura used an AR -15 -shallow rifle, which he gathered with a low receiver – or gun frame – that a colleague bought for him.

Along with teams in two states, investigators are still working to find out a trip from Las Vegas to New York City.

A three-page note was found on his body.

The gunman wrote that he was suffering from CTE, a brain disease surrounded by head injuries such as military matches and people contacting sports. Officials also said that Mr. Tamura had “a documented mental health history”.

Tamura, who played football as a teenager – although not professional, according to friends – “It seems that NFL is convicted”, Mayor Adams said.

“Study my mind. Forgive me,” Note said.
