Park Avenue shooting victim Julia Hyman was killed right after leaving panic room
NEW YORK — The last of the Park Avenue mass shooter's final victims was in temporary safety in a panic room, only to be killed when she stepped outside of it during a lull in the gunfire, police sources and authorities said. Initially, it was believed that the victim, Rudin Management associate Julia Hyman, 27, may have thought the gunman, Shane Tamura, had left the area, the sources said. However, now police say that Hyman simply had gone to the bathroom, had not heard shots being fired and was unaware of Tamura before she fatefully stepped back out into the office. The shooter was nearby, the sources said, having moments earlier fired his assault-style rifle at a cleaner he first encountered when he blasted his way into the 33rd-floor office. The sources said the 27-year-old shooter can be seen on video turning toward Hyman when he heard her step out from the bathroom that houses the secured panic room. After Hyman was struck by gunfire, she stumbled to a cubicle, collapsed in a chair and died, Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Kaz Daughtry said. According to authorities, Tamura — who believed he suffered from traumatic brain injury from playing high school football — had meant to shoot up the National Football League's offices, which are in the same high-rise building but on lower floors. He mistakenly took an elevator that did not stop at the NFL's floors, instead winding up on the 33rd floor. _____

Trump Is Bringing Back the Presidential Fitness Test
If you spent your childhood struggling to do chin-ups or groaning over a sit-and-reach box in gym class, brace yourself. Today, President Trump signed an executive order to reinstate the Presidential Fitness Test in public schools. The move is part of the administration's goal to 'restore urgency in improving the health of all Americans,' according to a statement released by the White House. The test, which was introduced in 1966, has taken several forms over the years. The most recent version included a one-mile run, modified sit-ups, a 30-foot shuttle run, the sit-and-reach flexibility test and a choice between push-ups and pull-ups. In the last iteration, children who scored in the top 15 percent nationwide earned a Presidential Physical Fitness Award. The Trump administration has yet to announce which exercises will be included in the new test. In 2012, the Obama administration replaced the Presidential Fitness Test with a program called the Presidential Youth Fitness Program, which was less focused on standardized fitness benchmarks. Some fitness and child development experts have criticized the Presidential Fitness Test as too rigid. Children who are the same age, for instance, could be very different sizes or at different developmental stages. And focusing on scores, experts said, could risk turning some children off exercise altogether. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
