The New York Post is identifying the Manhattan shooter who allegedly opened fire in the office building housing BlackRock and NFL headquarters as a 27-year-old Las Vegas man named Shane Tamura.
Tamura allegedly walked into the building and opened fire around 6:30 p.m. and was found dead shortly thereafter.
FOX 5 New York noted that Tamura had a “concealed carry permit from Las Vegas” on his person.
Breitbart News initially reported the number of shooting victims as three, consisting of one police officer and two civilians. However, numbers were later updated to show at least six were shot, including another police officer who lost his life.
At 9:17 p.m. FOX New York noted that at least three of the shooting victims had died.
No motive for the shooting has been reported.
