NYC shooting at Blackstone building: Gunman Shane Tamura worked as security guard at Las Vegas casino, source says | 28 July 2025 | A police officer and at least four other people were shot and killed and several others injured by a crazed gunman who stormed a swanky Midtown skyscraper early Monday evening -- before turning the gun on himself, sources said. The 27-year-old man, identified by sources as Shane Tamura, barged into the 44-story building, which houses Blackstone and the NFL headquarters, armed with a rifle and opened fire at around 6:30 p.m. during the evening rush, law enforcement sources told The Post. CNN is receiving backlash online for reporting that Park Avenue shooter Shane Tamura was "possibly white" while viewing the initial security footage released immediately after the shooting. CNN host Erin Burnett said that police knew what the gunman looked like, "sunglasses, mustache, male, possibly white" during the broadcast shortly after the shooting. The chilling image of Tamura with an AR-15 assault rifle was published shortly after the shooting was reported. It clearly shows a man with dark hair and a dark complexion.
