One NFL employee seriously injured in shooting, shooter reportedly had grievance with the NFL
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell sent a memo to league staff hours after the shooting.
'One of our employees was seriously injured in this attack. He is currently in the hospital and in stable condition. NFL staff are at the hospital and we are supporting his family,' Goodell wrote. 'We believe that all of our employees are otherwise safe and accounted for, and the building has nearly been cleared.'
A law enforcement official told CNN that the shooter, Shane Devon Tamura, was carrying papers indicating he had grievances with the NFL and its handling of CTE. Officials say Tamura had a documented mental health history and they are still investigating what motivated the attack.
Police say Tamura killed four people, including a police officer, before killing himself with a gunshot to the chest.

Congratulations Pouring In For Former NFL Star Colin Kaepernick
Congratulations Pouring In For Former NFL Star Colin Kaepernick originally appeared on The Spun. Colin Kaepernick hasn't received an NFL contract for the 2025 season, but congratulations are in order for the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback. Prior to his fallout in 2016, Kaepernick had a fairly successful run with the 49ers. He led the franchise to a Super Bowl appearance during the 2012 season and set a single-game record for most rushing yards by a quarterback in his postseason debut against the Green Bay Packers. The former second-round pick from Nevada finished his NFL career with 12,271 passing yards, 2,300 rushing yards and 85 total touchdowns. Off the field, Kaepernick has been with radio personality Nessa Diab since 2015. They welcomed their first child together in August of 2022. "I thought long and hard about sharing our life changing news today. I decided to do so because today is the first day in a few weeks where I stepped out for work with a new life title—MOM," Diab wrote on Instagram. "Colin and I welcomed our amazing baby to the world a few weeks ago and we are over the moon with our growing family." Earlier this week, Diab shocked the world when she revealed that she's been married to Kaepernick for a few years. NFL fans were unaware of that. That being said, NFL fans are wishing Kaepernick and Diab all the best. "Congrats! Former 49ers star QB Colin Kaepernick got married to his longtime girlfriend, TV host Nessa. The beautiful couple have been together for over 10 years now and have one child together. Colin still trains every day to make his NFL return," content creator Dov Kleiman wrote on X. "Congratulations to the Kaepernick's," one fan said. "Congrats," a second fan wrote. "Now how about a contract with the UFL?" "Good for him," a social media user commented. Diab soft-launched her marriage in July when she said this in an Instagram video: "I'm not Colin's girlfriend or roommate or whatever — I'm his wife." Now that all the rumors have been put to rest, Diab and Kaepernick can enjoy married life in peace.

Video Of NFL Star Jaycee Horn's Car Crash Has Emerged
Video Of NFL Star Jaycee Horn's Car Crash Has Emerged originally appeared on The Spun. The Carolina Panthers had to practice without star cornerback Jaycee Horn this Wednesday. That's because he was involved in a car accident. Although the accident isn't expected to keep Horn off the field for long, he will miss the team's preseason opener against the Cleveland Browns. The coaching staff revealed that Horn is dealing with a left thumb injury. "I'm glad that Jaycee was OK," Panthers head coach Dave Canales said. "He did have to have a few stitches in his left thumb area. So they got that all cleaned up and sutured up. ... It doesn't seem like anything else happened, but you know we're just gonna kind of evaluate him each day." Horn went on social media to reassure fans that he's doing fine. The South Carolina product wrote, "I'm straight ! Nun major thank god." On Wednesday night, footage of the alleged accident involving Horn surfaced on Instagram. The video that's going viral appears to show a Mercedes-Maybach SUV crashing into a pickup truck in Charlotte. Check it out: Horn, the No. 8 pick from the 2021 NFL Draft, has racked up 153 total tackles, 26 pass break-ups and five interceptions since going pro. The Panthers signed Horn to a four–year, $100 million extension earlier this offseason. His deal included $46 million. Suffice to say, Carolina wants its $100 million cornerback on the field for Week 1.

Former Giants lineman Dave Gallagher, who quit football to become a surgeon, dead at 73
A former Giants defensive tackle and first-round draft pick who left the team in the 1970s to become an orthopedic surgeon has died at age 73. Dave Gallagher died at his Columbus, Ind. home on January 20, according to his online obituary published on August 4. A cause of death was not announced. Gallagher played two seasons with the Giants from 1975 to 1976, but was unhappy about being benched and returned to his alma mater, the University of Michigan, to pursue his doctorate in medicine during his offseasons. Advertisement 'To bench me, and in effect end my career, and then tell me not to take it personally, that's stupid,' Gallagher told the New York Times in 1977. 4 Defensive end Dave Gallagher #76 of the Chicago Bears watches from the sideline against the San Diego Chargers at San Diego Stadium on December 8, 1974 in San Diego, California. NFL The turn from football to the rigors of the medical field wasn't completely out of nowhere — Gallagher wanted to be a doctor just like his father since he was young. Advertisement 'It wasn't so much that I knew what a doctor did, how he cared for people when they were sick, it was just that I admired my father so much and saw the respect he got from the community,' he said. Before joining the Giants, Gallagher had been a standout for the Wolverines in the early 1970s. During his time at Michigan, the Wolverines went 40-3-1, winning Big Ten titles from 1971-73. 'I narrowed down my college choices to Duke, Northwestern and Michigan because they all had excellent medical schools,' Gallagher told NFL Player Engagement. Advertisement 'Why did I choose Michigan? For one thing, it was hard in those days for anyone to say 'No' to Coach [Bo] Schembechler.' In his last season, he had 83 tackles and was a 1973 consensus first-team All-American. He was also a three-time Academic All-Big Ten member. He was inducted into Michigan's Hall of Honor in 2018. 4 New York Giants defensive back defensive end Dave Gallagher (71) tries to block a pass from St. Louis Cardinals quarterback Jim Hart (17) at Shea Stadium. US PRESSWIRE The Bears selected Gallagher in the first round of the 1974 NFL Draft, one pick in front of legendary wide receiver Lynn Swann, who went to the Steelers. Advertisement Gallagher was traded to the Giants after starting in 11 games for Chicago in his rookie season. 'I'm not a naturally gifted athlete,' Gallagher told the Times. 'And I've always worked hard for what I accomplished. But at each stage of my career, I knew I had to get better. When I was going to high school from junior high, to college from high school, I knew I had to improve. That worked in high school and college. 4 Rams' running back John Cappelletti, the former Heisman winner, is dragged down by a shirt tackle as he tried to circle the New York Giants' left side in Los Angeles Sunday, Sept. 26, 1976. Giant linebacker Brad Van Pelt pulls him down. At right is New York's Dave Gallagher. AP 'But in the pros, they expected No. 1 draft choices to be great right off the bat. I was never that way. I don't think I received the coaching for me to improve.' In his first game with the Giants, Gallagher sacked Eagles quarterback Mike Boryla twice in a New York victory. But after his first season with the Giants, Gallagher was moved from left end to left tackle, where he was undersized. He was benched halfway through the season, a slog that saw the Giants begin 0-9 and finish 3-11. 'Making a 43-man roster isn't enough, especially on a team that's 3‐11,' Gallagher said. 'I've always been a very ambitious person. Being the best is important. I think if the Giants had had a good year and if I had had a great. season I'd be coming back.' 4 Baltimore Colts quarterback Bert Jones (7) threads his pass past New York Giants defensive end Dave Gallagher (71) during a 21-0 Colts victory on December 7, 1975, at Shea Stadium in Flushing, New York. NFL Advertisement And in a way, it seemed like Gallagher was already angling for a new direction in life. He had it in his rookie contract that his team would pay for two semesters of medical school. Though he called pro football 'an interlude' he would return to play for the Lions from 1978-79. He retired from professional football in 1979, when he was 27 years old. He later moved his family to Indiana, where he was an orthopedic surgeon with the Southern Indiana Orthopedics group. Gallagher also coached youth football when his sons began playing in the fourth grade. Advertisement 'I realize that when you coach for the first time you tend to over-coach,' Gallagher said. 'I found myself doodling plays on napkins having more X's and O's than I had 4th grade players most of the time,' but added, 'Football is a great way to mentor kids.' Gallagher's loved ones will hold a service to 'honor his life' on August 19. He is survived by his former wife Carole, two children, five grandchildren and brother.
