NFL executive warned colleagues of NYC gunman after being shot in back, family says
NEW YORK — A brave NFL executive warned his colleagues there was an active shooter in their Park Avenue Midtown office building when he was shot and critically wounded in the lobby, his family told the Daily News. 'He was on his way home when he got shot,' wounded victim Craig Clementi's father-in-law Robert Hunter said Tuesday morning. 'He was able to call my daughter and he called upstairs too to the NFL offices.' Shane Tamura, 27, toting an M4 assault-style rifle, walked into the lobby of 345 Park Ave. at 6:28 p.m. Monday and opened fire, first fatally striking NYPD Officer Didarul Islam, who was working his second job as a security officer at the building, and then shooting Clementi, 42, in the back. Two other people in the lobby were killed in the barrage of gunfire. Clementi works in the finance department for the National Football League. 'He was able to call my daughter so she wouldn't be worried and tell her that he was OK,' said Hunter, 70. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Clementi's condition has stabilized at the hospital in a memo to staffers, according to ESPN. 'You never know about something like this, but hopefully he's gonna be fine,' Hunter said. 'He's a great guy.' 'He came through the surgery and there was some spinal damage,' Hunter added. 'He came through the surgery where they stopped the bleeding and they took the bullet fragments out. So nearest I know he's doing well.' Clementi was already on the phone with NFL colleagues when he was hit and warned them to evacuate, New York Times reporter Dianna Russini wrote on X, citing a high-ranking NFL source. He then continued making calls even while medics rushed him to the hospital in an ambulance, she reported. Clementi's wife was visiting her parents in Knoxville, Tenessee, with their three children and has yet to return to New York. 'They were here visiting for a while for the summer,' Hunter said. 'Because of the small children, she's still assessing the situation here.' Hunter said his son-in-law is a stand-up guy dedicated to both his family and work. 'He's just a super, super great dad, super, super conscientious employee,' he said. 'He's really a sharp young man.' Officials believe Tamura was targeting the NFL, noting his suicide note said he suffered from Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), a brain injury often linked to playing football. Tamura, of Las Vegas, who played competitive football in California when he was young, took issue with the NFL in his note. He never played for the NFL. After killing Officer Islam, and wounding Clementi, Tamura took the wrong elevator to the 33rd floor, home to Rudin Management, where he killed one woman before shooting himself in the chest. The NFL has offices on four lower floors of the building where the shooting occurred. ___________

2025 NFL betting: Odds for every Kansas City Chiefs game this season
The 2025 NFL schedule release has come and gone, which means that in addition to every team's opponents (which we already knew), we now know when those matchups will happen for every team for the 2025-26 season. And with those matchups released, we can assess bye weeks, rest advantages, travel advantages and more. It also means sportsbooks have all the information needed to put out lines for every game of the season. Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs went 15-2 last season and made it back to the Super Bowl, where they fell 40-22 to the Philadelphia Eagles. The Chiefs are still one of the most public teams in the NFL and will play on Thanksgiving Day at the Dallas Cowboys and Christmas at the Denver Broncos. They are currently favored in 16 games this season and have a win total of 11.5 — tied for the highest over/under in the NFL. Here are Chiefs' odds in every game this season: Week 1: Chiefs (-2.5, 45.5) vs. Los Angeles Chargers (in São Paulo) Week 2: Chiefs (-1.5, 45.5) vs. Eagles Week 3: Chiefs (-6.5, 43.5) at New York Giants Week 4: Chiefs (-1.5, 48.5) vs. Ravens Week 5: Chiefs (-4.5, 47.5) at Jaguars Week 6: Chiefs (-3, 48.5) vs. Lions Week 7: Chiefs (-9.5, 45.5) vs. Raiders Week 8: Chiefs (-3.5, 48.5) vs. Commanders Week 9: Chiefs at Bills (-2.5, 48.5) Week 10: BYE Week 11: Chiefs (-1.5, 45.5) at Broncos Week 12: Chiefs (-9.5, 45.5) vs. Colts Week 13 (Thanksgiving): Chiefs (-6, 47.5) at Cowboys Week 14: Chiefs (-6.5, 45.5) vs. Texans Week 15: Chiefs (-4.5, 45.5) vs. Los Angeles Chargers Week 16: Chiefs (-7, 44.5) at Titans Week 17 (Christmas): Chiefs (-4.5, 44.5) at Broncos Week 18: Chiefs (-6) at Raiders

Browns' starter carted off with scary injury at training camp
The mood shifted quickly at Cleveland Browns' training camp in Berea on Tuesday afternoon. One minute, the Browns were taking part in a 7-on-7 drill. The next, one of Cleveland's starters was on the ground in pain, surrounded by his teammates, with a cart coming out to take him off the field. It was cornerback Martin Emerson on the ground with what Mary Kay Cabot deemed a "very painful left leg injury" that "he knew right away it was bad." The Athletic's Zac Jackson added: "The whole area has gone silent." Emerson was projected to be one of the Browns' starting cornerbacks out wide this season, opposite Denzel Ward. Options behind Emerson include nickel corner Greg Newsome along with the likes of Cameron Mitchell and Tony Brown II. Emerson was a third-round pick by the Browns in the 2022 NFL Draft out of Mississippi State. MORE: Josh Allen continues to prove he's a hero for Bills fans He only started six of the 17 games he played in as a rookie, although Emerson did put up 63 tackles that season. In 2023, he started 12 of the 16 games he was healthy for. Emerson recorded all four of his career interceptions in that campaign, and he also had 59 tackles. In 2024, Emerson started in 15 of the Browns' 17 games. He made a career-high 80 tackles. Opposite Ward, Emerson always has been called into action frequently. That'll likely be even more true for whatever down-the-depth-chart option steps in for Emerson for however long he may be out. The Browns had one tough-looking injury earlier in training camp to receiver Cedric Tillman, but that turned out not to be serious at all. It's tough to believe Cleveland will dodge the huge-injury bug twice in a week.
