Manhattan victim's bone-chilling plea after being shot by gunman Shane Tamura in sick rampage that felt ‘like war zone'
A WITNESS has described the moment she saw a bloodied victim sprint out of a New York City skyscraper and scream for help after he was shot by gunman Shane Tamura. Four people were killed by the 27-year-old who drove from his home in Las Vegas, Nevada, and barged into the building with a rifle on Monday. 5 5 5 5 He arrived at the offices in Midtown Manhattan that headquartered elite businesses like Blackstone and the NFL at around 6 pm and killed a New York City police officer as soon as he entered. The deranged shooter opened fire on more innocent office workers in the lobby and elevator bay before heading to the 33rd floor, where he ultimately turned the gun on himself. What we know about the Manhattan shooting... On Monday evening, Shane Tamura, 27, barged into a New York City skyscraper and fatally shot four people before turning the gun on himself Victims of the horror shooting include a police officer expecting his third child and an investment company executive Mayor Eric Adams said that an apparent suicide note left by Tamura indicates he was targeting the NFL, which is headquartered in the building In the letter, Tamura claimed he was battling a brain condition that was caused by playing football An NFL employee was critically injured by Tamura but is expected to survive Mysteries continue to shroud the attack, including why Tamura spared a woman he passed in the elevator Mayor Eric Adams said that an apparent suicide note found beside Tamura's body indicates that he was trying to target the NFL, which he blamed for health issues. Tamura claimed that he suffered from a brain condition that was caused by playing football, and accused the league of hiding the dangers of the sport for profit. While the shooter ditched his BMW on the street and walked into the building, bystander Nekeisha Lewis was eating dinner just outside in the plaza area. Lewis said that she and her friends heard shots and then watched in horror as a wall of glass on the first floor shattered, she told NBC News. "I realized, 'Oh my God this is a shootout,'" she said. "It felt like I was in a warzone." The witness said she then saw a worker "frantically" sprint out of the building as he screamed a plea to the public outside. "Help, help, I've been shot!" the man yelled, according to Lewis. Lewis noticed that the man appeared to have a wound on his front and back and said that she and her partner helped to get his backpack off before they all ran to safety. She called the victim "brave" and said that she hopes he made it home after the chaotic attack. "It's been [...] the most scary situation I've ever been in," she said. "I've cried at least three times since." VICTIMS NAMED One of the victims has been named as Didarul Islam - a 36-year-old New York cop who was working a second job as a security guard and expecting his third child when he was killed. Blackstone executive Wesley LePatner also died in the horrific gunfire. She was a mom of two who was on multiple charity boards for New York City establishments. The third victim was identified as 27-year-old property management associate Julia Hyman, who was on the 33rd floor, where her employer Rudin was located, when Tamura took the wrong elevator. And the fourth victim was named security guard Aland Etienne. He was mourned as a "New York hero" by 32BJ SEIU labor union President Manny Pastreich. An NFL employee was critically injured during the shooting, but league commissioner Roger Goodell said they're expected to recover. Timeline of NYC shooting A gunman stormed 345 Park Avenue in Midtown, Manhattan, on Monday night killing four before turning the gun on himself. Cops are now investigating why the suspect Shane Tamura carried out the brutal attack and have released a preliminary timeline and are tracing back through his movements. July 26 - Tamura drives through Colorado in his black BMW July 27 - Tamura drives through Nebraska and Iowa. He also doesn't show up for work as a security guard at a Las Vegas casino July 28, 6.28pm - Reports of the shooting are first made to NYPD. Tamura had moments earlier double parked his car and walked across a plaza into 345 Park Avenue Once inside, Tamura shoots off-duty officer Didarul Islam working as security dead He guns down a woman cowering behind a pillar as he sprays the lobby with bullets Tamura walks towards the elevators where he shoots dead a security guard crouching at his desk Gunman spares woman's life after she walks out of elevator in front of him He travels up to the 33rd floor to Rudin Properties' office and fires as he walks the floor killing one Tamura shoots himself in his chest ending his life and ending the rampage 7.52pm - NYC Police Commissioner Tisch posted on X: 'the scene has been contained and the lone shooter has been neutralized.' CTE CLAIMS In a rambling handwritten note found near Tamura, the gunman blamed the NFL for his alleged health issues. He claimed that he was suffering from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), which has been found in some pro football players after they died by suicide. The shooter begged, "study by brain please" in the three-page letter and even apologized for his sick actions. He also referenced Terry Long - an NFL player who was suffering from the condition when he died after drinking a full gallon of antifreeze. "Terry Long football gave me CTE and it caused me to drink a gallon of antifreeze," read the disturbed writings.

A Royal Caribbean cruise crew member jumped overboard to his death after stabbing another crew member on the ship, authorities in the Bahamas have confirmed. The horror incident is understood to have happened shortly before 7.30pm local time on Thursday, July 24. The Royal Bahamas Police Force told NBC News that a 35-year-old South African man who worked on the ship allegedly stabbed a 28-year-old South African woman several times onboard the Icon of the Seas. According to reports the ship was in the waters off the coast of San Salvador Island in the Bahamas at the time. The man fled the scene of the stabbing and jumped overboard, police said. He was later found dead by onboard medical staff. Officers confirmed the woman, who suffered stab wounds to her upper body, was in stable condition. The two crew members, who have not been named, were involved in "a personal dispute," a Royal Caribbean spokesperson told NBC News. The spokesperson said: "One of the crew members was injured, was attended to by the onboard medical team, and she is now in stable condition. "Unfortunately, the other crew member is deceased after he went overboard and was recovered in a search and rescue operation." As reported by the Mirror, neither of the crew members have been identified. An autopsy will take place to determine the man's cause of death. After the incident, the ship reportedly dropped life preservers into the water near where the man fell to mark his location and aid in his rescue. Shortly thereafter, a rescue boat was deployed, WSVN reported, and the man's body was pulled from the sea. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
