Five Killed in Midtown Manhattan Shooting, Including NYPD Officer

New York | July 28, 2025

A horrifying shooting in the heart of Midtown Manhattan has claimed the lives of five individuals, including a New York Police Department (NYPD) officer. The incident unfolded around 6:30 p.m. Monday evening at a high-rise office building located at 345 Park Avenue.

According to eyewitnesses, the gunman—27-year-old Shane Devon Tamura, a resident of Las Vegas—entered the building lobby wearing body armor and carrying an AR-style rifle. His first target was an off-duty NYPD officer, who was working a private security assignment for the building’s owner. The officer was killed at the scene. Tamura then proceeded to the 33rd floor, where he was later found dead, apparently from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Casualties:
• Five people killed, including one NYPD officer and four civilians
• At least six others injured, with one in critical condition

Moments of Terror:

People inside the building initially mistook the noise for firecrackers or mechanical sounds. But as gunshots rang out and panic spread, employees barricaded doors, hid behind file cabinets, and texted loved ones.
One worker recalled, “We started messaging our parents, saying ‘We love you,’ thinking this might be the end.”

Law Enforcement Response:

The NYPD, FBI, and bomb squad arrived within minutes, conducting a floor-by-floor sweep of the building.
Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch posted on X (formerly Twitter):
“The shooter is down. The area is secure.”
Mayor Eric Adams urged New Yorkers to remain calm and avoid the surrounding area while investigations continue.

Fallen Officer and Personal Tragedy:

The slain NYPD officer had been serving since December 2021, and was assigned to the site under a private security contract.
He is survived by his pregnant wife, casting a somber shadow across the city and law enforcement community.

Ongoing Investigation:

While the motive remains unclear, authorities confirmed that Tamura possessed a valid firearm carry permit issued in Nevada.
Police also recovered a vehicle linked to the suspect near the building.
Investigators are now reviewing surveillance footage, collecting forensic evidence, and interviewing witnesses.

Final Reflection:

This tragedy is not just the loss of lives—it is a blow to the nation’s collective heart.
The ultimate sacrifice of a police officer and the senseless killing of innocent people remind us once again: safety is fragile, and humanity is essential.
