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 that Tamura was referring to the suffering of 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.

“This was a difficult period for our whole team. Please continue to take care of yourself. If you need additional support, do not hesitate to contact your manager or HR. We are here for you,” said the last memo of Goodell.
The other three victims killed during the shooting were the direction of Blackstone Wesley Lepatner, the security guard Aland Etienne and the partner of Rudin, Julia Hyman.
