Authorities investigating if gunman in NYC office shooting legally purchased rifle from boss
The New York City Police Department continues to work with investigators across the country to learn more about the gunman in Monday's deadly Midtown office shooting. On Thursday, Las Vegas authorities were investigating if shooter Shane Tamura's boss, identified only as "Rick," broke the law. The NYPD says Rick legally purchased the rifle used in the Park Avenue attack and then sold it to Tamura, who had a concealed carry permit, for $1,400. The question is, was that sale legal? In order for the sale to be legal under Nevada law, Rick would have had to go to a gun store that is considered a federal firearms licensee. While there, Rick and Tamura would have had to fill out a document called an ATF Form 4473, which records the transaction. CBS News New York has reached out to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to find out if Rick filed that form. Authorities have said Rick is cooperating with police, and he has not been charged at this time. CBS News New York spoke to Rick on Wednesday, and he had no comment. Las Vegas defense attorney Josh Tomsheck is an expert on Second Amendment issues. "I think it's very unlikely that, if he did the transfer at a licensed federal firearms licensee, he is probably not exposed to any criminal liability. That's the reality," Tomsheck said. But he says under federal law, there is an exception. "If seller is selling to someone he knows to be a habitual drug user, he can't do that. If he thinks he's got a documented mental health history, he can't sell it to him in that circumstance. He's duty-bound to only sell to someone who he believes can legally purchase the firearm," Tomsheck said. Meanwhile, at last check, police were waiting on a warrant to search the gunman's locker at the Horseshoe Casino, where he worked.

‘His watch may be over but his impact will never be:' Mourners stretch for blocks to honor slain NYPD officer Didarul Islam
The mournful notes of taps echoed through rainy Bronx neighborhood Thursday afternoon as six New York Police Department officers shouldered the casket of one of their own: Officer Didarul Islam. They carried Islam's remains out of a mosque where his funeral was held, and into the street where thousands of officers stood in silent salute. He was one of four people killed in a mass shooting in Midtown Manhattan on Monday. As if signaled by the song, rain began to fall in thick sheets over the funeral procession, soaking the green, blue and white NYPD flag draped over Islam's casket. The somber scene, shown here in pictures and video, took place in Islam's own neighborhood at the Parkchester Jame Masjid. A sea of uniformed officers from the NYPD and other law enforcement agencies stood for blocks under the pelting rain, as if cast in stone. The 36-year-old father of two was preparing to welcome a third child with his pregnant wife. He was his parents' only child. His death has reverberated through his tightly-knit Bangladeshi community in Parkchester. Loved ones, Muslim community members and some of New York's most prominent leaders mourned Islam on Thursday as a dedicated father and hardworking guardian of his fellow New Yorkers. Islam was fatally shot by an armed 27-year-old man in the lobby of a glossy skyscraper at 345 Park Avenue on Monday. The officer was off-duty at the time but was working security in the building. During the funeral service, NYPD Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch announced Islam had been posthumously promoted to detective first grade. Before continuing her remarks, Tisch knelt in front of Islam's wife, and the pair embraced. 'Everything for him was about building something for his family, for his mosque, for his adopted city and for his relatives back in Bangladesh. They were all in his care, and he found peace in watching them grow,' Tisch said. 'His watch may be over, but his impact will never be. If there is any grace to be found in this grief, it is knowing that the light that he carried did not go out. It just moved forward, and it shines within the family that he worked so hard to build.' NYPD Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch Islam joined the NYPD as a school safety agent in 2019 and became an officer two years later, Tisch said. 'In his own words, the police were a blanket of the community there to provide comfort and care,' the police chief added. For Foysol Ahmed, a community leader in Parkchester, the slain officer brought pride to his community through humble service. When one of their own is represented in agencies like the NYPD or the New York City Fire Department, he said, it's something to be celebrated. 'We feel proud,' he told CNN earlier this week. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul described the pain of Islam's death as 'searing' and urged the Bangladeshi community to lean on other fellow New Yorkers. Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani sat with Islam's family and remained inside the mosque for prayers, his campaign confirmed. CNN's Mark Morales, Gloria Pazmino and Dakin Andone contributed to this report.
