Deadly Manhattan office shooting leaves four dead; one victim linked to NFL
A gunman opened fire on Monday evening at 345 Park Avenue, a high-rise in Midtown Manhattan that houses the headquarters of the NFL, Blackstone, KPMG, and other companies. He killed four people, including an off‑duty NYPD officer working security, before fatally shooting himself on the 33rd floor. The attacker, identified as 27 year old Shane Devon Tamura from Las Vegas, entered the building shortly before 6:30pm, carrying an M4 rifle. Police officials confirmed he had a "documented mental health history," and investigators are exploring potential motives, including grievances linked to chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Among the wounded is an NFL employee, who remains hospitalized in stable condition. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell confirmed that all other staff are accounted for and that the league is supporting the employee's family. Goodell also announced heightened security at league offices in the coming days. One of the deceased is Didarul Islam, an NYPD officer assigned to corporate security detail, who had served for three and a half years. He was honored posthumously by officials as having made the "ultimate sacrifice" in service. Authorities called the incident 'contained' and 'neutralized' and elevated the investigation to include the FBI and other agencies. With no definitive motive confirmed yet, the incident has sparked concern over high-profile building vulnerability and prompted major companies in the tower to review security protocols.

Afghan refugees wait in a queue to cross the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in Torkham on October 27, 2023. PHOTO: AFP The repatriation of Afghan nationals from Rawalpindi continues, with more than 45 individuals, including the family members and associates of an Afghan national, Wali Jan, deported to Afghanistan. These individuals were residing illegally at the incarcerated suspect's home in Pakistan. Wali Jan is currently imprisoned in Adiala Jail and will be deported to Afghanistan upon completion of legal proceedings. Sources said Wali Jan is involved in several serious criminal cases registered at various police stations in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. These include charges related to terrorism, attempted murder, resistance to law enforcement, aerial firing, and display of weapons on social media. In the first week of this month, CCD and Mandrah police arrested Wali Jan and his accomplices for brandishing weapons on TikTok. Authorities recovered three rifles, including Kalashnikov and M4, along with 13 magazines, bullets, and other items. Rawalpindi City Police Officer (CPO) Khalid Hamdani stated that promoting weapons is a criminal offense and will not be tolerated. "No one will be allowed to become a symbol of fear for citizens," he asserted. Following his arrest, Wali Jan was declared a proclaimed offender in a case registered at Sadar Bairooni Police Station. During the investigation, authorities discovered more Afghan nationals residing illegally at his camp. A joint search operation was conducted by Sadar Division Police in the Mandira area, during which illegal Afghan residents were taken into custody. Among those detained were two men, 12 women, and 35 children. Wali Jan's own Afghan identification card was found to be expired. Upon confirmation of their illegal status and the suspect's involvement in criminal activities, Rawalpindi police transferred the individuals to a holding camp before completing their deportation via land route under tight security. A senior police officer confirmed to The Express Tribune that all individuals associated with Wali Jan, totaling over 45, have been repatriated to Afghanistan. Legal formalities for Wali Jan are ongoing, and he will be deported once the process is completed.

Mustafa Amir murder: Armughan's father granted bail in illegal arms case
Listen to article A local court has granted bail to Kamran Asghar Qureshi, the father of Armughan, the main suspect in the Mustafa Aamir murder case, in an illegal arms case. The bail application was heard by the Additional District and Sessions Judge (South), who approved the bail against a surety bond of Rs100,000. During the hearing, defence counsel Khurram Awan argued that the case was baseless and registered solely because the accused is Armughan's father. He claimed that Kamran has been wrongfully implicated in multiple cases. The judge remarked that the accused should be released if not wanted in any other case. According to the prosecution, the Anti-Violent Crime Cell had booked Kamran Asghar Qureshi after recovering illegal weapons from his possession. A total of four FIRs have been lodged against him. Earlier, an anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Karachi had extended the physical remand of Armughan, the prime suspect in the Mustafa Amir murder case, for an additional seven days. The court directed the investigation officer to submit a progress report at the next hearing. Prosecutors argued that more time was required to recover a laptop and mobile phone, which they believe contain crucial evidence. Armughan's defence counsel opposed the request, claiming that police had completed their investigation and further remand was unnecessary. However, the court sided with the prosecution and approved the extension. During the hearing, the judge inquired whether the seized evidence had been properly sealed, to which the investigation officer confirmed compliance. The court also permitted Armughan's parents to meet him briefly. Moreover, according to a report, Armughan had allegedly confessed to the crime and explained the reasons behind Mustafa's murder. The report revealed that Armughan ran a call centre at a bungalow in Defence Housing Authority's Khayaban-e-Momin area, where 30 to 40 boys and girls worked, along with 30 to 35 security guards stationed at the premises. The bungalow had allegedly housed three lion cubs illegally. An interrogation report also shed light on Armughan's involvement in business and drug use. Before Mustafa's murder, Armughan, along with his friend Shiraz, planned to burn Mustafa's car and had previously intended to harm him. The report revealed that in 2019, Armughan was involved in a case regarding drug import, but he secured bail in that matter. According to the investigation, Armughan himself was a drug user. On New Year's Eve, Armughan hosted a party at the bungalow, where Shiraz was also present until 3 am. However, Mustafa did not attend the party. The following day, Armughan and Mustafa had a personal dispute, which escalated into a violent confrontation. On January 6, Armughan invited Shiraz to the bungalow to take drugs together, and Mustafa arrived at around 9 pm. During this encounter, Armughan assaulted Mustafa with an iron rod. Armughan and Shiraz stripped Mustafa of his clothes, bound his hands and feet with a white sheet, and dragged him down the stairs. Mustafa's car was parked in the bungalow's parking lot, and they placed his body in the trunk of the car, after which they took him to Hub. The report further details that Armughan instructed two employees to clean blood stains from the room. Armughan also took Mustafa's clothes, mobile phone, and internet device. When they could not find fuel in the car, Armughan took a fuel can from the bungalow. The report explains that Armughan discarded Mustafa's mobile phone and other belongings on the way. They arrived in Hub around 4:30 am, poured petrol on the car, and set it on fire. Armughan and Shiraz then walked to a hotel for breakfast. A hotel employee noticed a weapon, and the two men fled the scene. After walking for several hours and hitching rides, they made their way back to Karachi.
