Desperate pictures show how NYC workers fought to protect themselves from active shooter in their office before 4 killed
DESPERATE pictures show how office workers tried to protect themselves from the gunman who stormed into a swanky high-rise building and killed four in a crazed rampage. Workers at the investment management company Blackstone stacked piles of furniture against the door as they sought shelter. 6 6 Crazed gunman Shane Tamura stormed the building 345 Park Avenue, which is also home to the NFL, killing his victims before turning the weapon on himself. Pictures obtained by the ABC affiliate WABC-TV showed furniture stacked on top of each other. Sofas and chairs were just bundled together as a barricade was created. Some staffers even used the wooden desks as defenses. Blackstone workers sent messages on Teams warning people not to go downstairs. Other staffers are said to have locked themselves in bathrooms as the shooter went on his rampage. Tamura, of Las Vegas, Nevada, traveled cross country as he made his way to New York City. The drive, which is more than 2,500 miles, takes approximately 37 hours. Tamura was reported driving through Colorado on Saturday, and Nebraska and Iowa on Sunday. Just two hours before the first 911 calls were reported, he was seen in Columbia, New Jersey - located around 70 miles from Midtown. Jessica Tisch, the New York Police Commissioner, said his car was then clocked entering New York City. He was armed with a rifle when he parked on Park Avenue before heading to the building. Tamura, who was sporting a bulletproof vest, shot dead police officer Didarul Islam before spraying the lobby with gunfire. Islam, from Bangladesh, was a married dad-of-two and his wife was pregnant with their third child.

Cops revealed Tamura shot a security guard as he trooped over to the elevator bank. He then shot another man in the lobby. Tamura then took the elevator to the 33rd floor and killed one person. He then shot himself and died from the self-inflicted wound. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that a Blackstone chief was among those killed. And, other staffers were hospitalized. Cops are still probing the motive behind the shooting. But, they found a loaded revolver,. rifle case, backpack and medication in his car. Cops also combed the car for explosives, but didn't find anything. Tamura was carrying a M4 style rifle, according to Tisch. Tamura, a former football player, is believed to have been carrying a note, sources told CNN. He claimed he had been suffering from the Chronic traumatic encephalopathy, commonly known as CTE. "You can't go against the NFL," the note reportedly said. "Study my brain please." Tamura's friends thought he wasn't capable of carrying out such a massacre. The shooting unfolded as swathes of staffers were about to head home and to bars and restaurants after work. One woman, Neikesha Lewis, had just had dinner with her friends when she saw the commotion, according to the Associated Press. "Help, help, help, I'm shot," she heard one man say as he scampered from a building. "It was like a crowd panic," Anna Smith, who sought shelter in a finance building, said. She and other staffers were inside for two hours before they were allowed to leave. 6 6 6 6

EXCLUSIVE Gage Wilson vanished from his Mullumbimby home at dawn. Search parties found his ute crashed into a tree - but no trace of him. Now his heartbroken family has a chilling theory about his mysterious fate
A grieving family is demanding answers one year on from the mysterious death of Gage Wilson whose body was found almost three months after he suddenly vanished. Mr Wilson, 31, was last seen at his Mullumbimby home in far northern NSW about 5am on May 18, 2024. His abandoned white ute was later found crashed into a tree on Koonyum Range Road in Wilsons Creek, less than 10km away in the Byron Bay hinterland. Family, friends and the local community searched for three months until Mr Wilson's remains were found on August 4 at an abandoned property 1km from the ute crash. Almost one year on, the circumstances of his death still remain shrouded in mystery. Now his sister Niki Manidakis has broken her silence to reveal her sinister fear that Mr Wilson was brutally murdered. On the eve of the first anniversary of his body being found, the family has now been told an inquest into his death will be held in the coming months. But Ms Manidakis is adamant her brother met with foul play, and insisted: 'This doesn't feel like a tragic accident - this feels deliberate and staged.' 'I have no doubt in my mind that Gage was murdered,' she told Daily Mail Australia. 'I can't say more than that right now out of respect for the coronial process, however I believe the truth will come out. 'I think the question we keep coming back to is: Why wasn't more done? Why hasn't Gage's case received the urgency and attention it deserved from the start? 'There are pieces of this that don't make sense and until we have answers, we're left questioning everything.' Within the first two days of the hunt for Mr Wilson, police found his clothing, but no other trace of him. The family then coordinated searches, organised volunteers, chased leads and raised awareness until their worst fears were realised three months later. Ms Manidakis spent weeks spearheading the search while pregnant with her fourth child. 'Instead of being able to rest or grieve, I found myself desperately searching for my brother alongside my family,' she said. 'This meant the responsibility fell entirely on us. Our persistence and hard work - not the police - led to Gage being found. 'We had to organise volunteers, coordinate mapping, spread awareness, chase leads, all while in survival mode.' Gage's death rocked the entire family, she said. 'Emotionally, we're still in limbo. There's trauma, a million unanswered questions, and a deep sadness that's settled into everything,' Ms Manidakis said. 'It's not something you ever truly recover from.' She is hopeful that a new public appeal and the upcoming inquest will finally shed some light of the tragic mystery. 'Our family needs closure, and Gage deserves justice,' she said, ahead of National Missing Persons Week which coincides with the anniversary of the discovery of his remains. 'The community deserves to feel protected and to trust that if someone they love goes missing, their case will be taken seriously. 'Gage wasn't just a name on a list. He was a person, a son, a brother, an uncle, a cousin, a grandchild and he mattered.' Ms Manidakis has now launched renewed appeals on social media for information about her brother's death. 'Nothing about what happened makes any sense,' she posted. 'His body was found in a place that had already been searched. 'To date, police have not said they've ruled out foul play, and neither can we.' Ms Manidakis also listed the names of dozens of men who vanished or died in similar circumstances in the Byron Bay region since 2019. Mr Wilson disappeared almost five years to the day after Belgian backpacker Theo Hayez, 18, who vanished after leaving Cheeky Monkeys bar in Byron Bay on May 31, 2019. His remains have never been found. 'This isn't over and I won't stop,' Ms Manidakis added. NSW Police was unable to comment on whether foul play had been ruled out. 'As the matter is before the coroner, no further comment can be made regarding the investigation,' a spokesman said. 'The officer in charge of the investigation continues to offer assistance to the family.' Ms Manidakis urged anyone with information to come forward. 'If you know something but you're scared to come forward, I understand. But this is bigger than fear,' she said. 'You don't have to be publicly involved. You can remain anonymous. Please contact me directly or speak to Crime Stoppers. 'Any piece of information, no matter how small, could help bring the truth to light.' A GoFundMe page set up for Mr Wilson at the time of his death described him as 'a unique individual with a wonderful, generous heart', leaving loved ones with 'profound disbelief and sorrow'. 'Gage was a gentle, free spirit, with a deep love for peace, nature, and humanity. We can only hope that his final moments were as serene as his soul,' it added. 'This is our worst nightmare, and our hearts ache for other families of missing loved ones in the Byron Shire area. We send our love and strength to those who are grieving alongside us.'
