- Shane Tamura, the gunman in the NFL headquarters shooting, had CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy), confirmed by the NYC medical examiner.
- Tamura killed four people in the shooting in July and died by suicide.
- A note found on Tamura blamed the NFL for concealing brain injury risks to players.
- The medical examiner found low-stage CTE in Tamura’s brain, linked to repeated head trauma.
- The NFL expressed grief over the tragedy but stated there was no justification for the shooter’s actions.
- Victims included a security guard, a Blackstone executive, a police officer, and a young employee.
- Tamura fired 47 rounds, indicating he reloaded once during the attack.
- A survivor, Sebije Nelovic, hid in a closet and heard gunshots before Tamura took his own life.
