Four people were killed, including a uniformed New York City police officer, and another was injured on Monday evening by a gunman who entered a Midtown Manhattan high-rise building that contains offices for several prominent companies, including the headquarters of the NFL.
In a news conference Monday night, New York Mayor Eric Adams said that the gunman had died of an 'apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.'

Adams identified the police officer as 36-year-old Didarul Islam, a three-year veteran of the NYPD and an immigrant from Bangladesh. The other victims' names, including another man and two women, have not been made public.
The NFL offices are located on the fifth through eighth floors of the building at 345 Park Ave., between 51st and 52nd Streets. There was no indication that the gunman entered any of those floors. The league did not respond to requests for comment.
Jessica Tisch, the NYPD Commissioner, said the shooter was believed to be 27-year-old Shane Devin Tamura, who has a Las Vegas address. She noted Tamura has a 'documented mental health history' and that any potential motive for the shooting remained unclear.
'We believe this to be a lone shooter and there is no active threat to the public,' she said.
Tisch said multiple 911 calls came in at 6:28 p.m. ET regarding the shooter. A security camera image shared by the NYPD showed the man identified as Tamura walking toward the building's entrance with a long gun that Tisch described as an M4 rifle.
Tamura, Tisch said, shot four people on the building's ground floor, including Islam, before proceeding to an elevator. He went to the offices of the real estate company Rudin Management on the 33rd floor, where he shot and killed another person. Rudin owns the high-rise building. Tisch said the shooter then shot himself in the chest.
Other companies with offices in the building include Deutsche Bank, the financial firm KPMG and the investment management firm Blackstone.
