NYC Mayor: Gunman Who Killed Four Targeted and Blamed NFL for Brain Injury

From our preliminary investigation, he took the wrong elevator bank up to the NFL headquarters. Instead, it took him to Rudin Management. And that is where he carried out additional shootings and took the lives of additional employees.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams, speaking to CBS about Monday’s fatal shooting inside a Manhattan office building that left four people dead.

What To Know: The ongoing investigation indicates that the 27-year-old suspect intended to target the NFL office. He reportedly left a note referencing chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a disease linked to head trauma. Mayor Adams stated the suspect had a note on him detailing “he felt he had CTE” and “appeared to have blamed the NFL for his injury.” CTE can only be diagnosed after death.
