New York (AP) – Officials said that a man was chasing a Manhattan office tower as he fired a gun on Monday, killing four people, including a police officer in New York City, and wounded in fifth place before taking his life.
A cloud force was shot with the headquarters of the American Football Association and Blackstone, one of the largest investment companies in the world, as well as other tenants.
The gunman, which was identified by the authorities as Shin Tamura in Las Vegas, was a “documented history of mental health,” according to the police of Jessica Tish, but his motive was still unknown.
“We are working to understand the reason for targeting this particular site,” said Tish.
The agitation occurred at the end of the working day in the same part of Manhattan, where the CEO of UNITEDHELTHARE was shot out of a hotel late last year.
The observation video showed that the man comes out of the double BMW before 6:30 pm, carrying the M4 rifle, then walking through a public square in the building. Then the shooting began, killing a police officer working on security details for companies and then hitting a woman who tried to cover while spraying the lobby by shooting.
The commissioner said that the man had made his way to the elevator bank, shot a guard in a security office, and shot another man in the hallway.
The elevator took the elevator to the thirty -third floor offices from the company that owns the building, managed Rodin, opened fire and killed one person on that floor. The commissioner said that the man then shot himself. The building, 345 Park Avenue, occupies KPMG’s Financial Services offices.
The dead officer was a migrant
Tish said at a press conference that the officer who killed Dedarol Islam, 36, a Bangladesh immigrant worked as a police officer in New York City for 3 and a half years.
“He was doing the task we asked of him to do. He put himself in the way of harm. He made the final sacrifice,” Tish said. “He died as he lives. Hero.”
Mayor Eric Adams said a man was seriously injured and remains in critical condition. Four others were slightly injured in an attempt to escape.
Adams said officials are still “revealing” what happened.
Tish said that the officers found the case of a gun, pistol, magazines and ammunition in the Tamura. They also found Tamura.
She said that the initial investigation shows that his car traveled throughout the country, passing through Colorado on July 26, then Nebraska and Iowa on July 27. The car was in Colombia, New Jersey, recently from 4:24 pm. She said that he went to New York City shortly.
Rudin is one of the largest property owned real estate companies in New York City. The company’s history dates back to 1925 and is still run by the Rodin family.
Tish said that there have been no indications yet that Tamura had prior links to the real estate industry or to the city.
No one responded to the door at the title included in Tamura in Las Vegas.
Tish said that Islam, the killed officer, leaves two young boys behind him, and his wife is pregnant with their third child.
Witnesses heard “fast fire”
Local television footage showed lines of people who evacuated the offices building with their hands over their heads in hours that followed the killings.
Nikisha Lewis was dinner with friends on the scene when I heard the shooting.
“I felt she was fast and then was a quick fire,” she told Associated Press.
Windows crashed and a man ran from the building, saying: “Help, help. I shoot.” Louis said.
Jessica Chen News told that she was watching a presentation with dozens of other people on the second floor when “I heard several shots exploding in a quick sequence of the first floor.”
She and others faced a conference hall and war against the door.
“We were really frankly afraid,” she said, adding that she sent a message to her parents to tell them that she loved them.
Some financial workers in a library below the block were dinner at Zawiya Restaurant when they heard a loud noise and saw people running.
“It was a crowd’s panic,” said Anna Smith, who joined the workers in the Finance Office building. They stayed there for two hours before they told that they might leave.
Tish says she believes that two officers were working in different parts of the building as part of a program where companies can employ New York police officers to provide security.
The building where the shooting occurred is located in a crowded area in the city center, and is located a short walk north of Grand Central Terminal and around the East Cathedral of St. Patrick.
During late July, New York City has become on its way to this year, perhaps the lowest number of murders and the lowest number of people who were shot in decades. But the city’s companies in the city have been ready since last December, when the CEO of UNITEDHEALTHARECACE Brian Thompson was killed outside a hotel hosting a conference.
The man accused of this killing, Luigi manganese, is waiting for trial. Prosecutors accuse him of killing Thompson because he was angry at the greed of visual companies, especially in the field of health insurance. He admitted that he was not guilty.
