“For those of you based in our New York office, please plan to work at least until the end of next week (August 8),” said the memo. “The office will remain closed during this period, and we ask you not to try to enter the building as long as we have confirmed that it is ready so that we can return.”
Goodell also said in the note that “our hearts go to all the victims and their families, and we are deeply grateful for the first stakeholders and the medical staff who acted so quickly and continue to provide care”.

New York mayor Eric Adams revealed on Tuesday on “Good Day New York” of Fox 5 NY that the shooter was trying to target the headquarters of the NFL, but took the bad bank of the elevator. He said the ground he had taken was for the management of Rudin.
Adams added the shooter, who was identified as Shane Tamura, 27, alluded to having suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy, better known as CTE. He had a grievance with the NFL.
“He seemed to have blamed the NFL,” said the mayor. “The NFL headquarters was located in the building and wrongly did the bad elevator bench.”
Adams said the investigators crossed the “suicide note” that the shooter had left. An official told PK Press Club Digital that the three -page note had been found in the drawer’s portfolio and referred to the CTE and expressed his anger at the degenerative brain disease.
The previous score of Goodell made sure to remind employees of HR resources that the company must go through this difficult period. He reiterated so much in this note.

“We are the strongest when we come together and support each other,” said Goodell’s note. “To meet the needs of our community, we will keep a virtual town hall tomorrow where we can connect, share and support each other.
“This was a difficult period for our entire team. Please continue to take care of yourself and the other. If you need additional support, do not hesitate to contact your manager or HR. We are there for you.”
