The maniac gunman who killed four people at a Midtown office building on Monday evening was identified as a mentally ill 27-year-old Las Vegas man who drove across just to engage in this bloody ordeal.
Tamura was named as the shooter who stormed 345 Park Ave., who opened fire, killing one police officer and three civilians before he took his own life, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said Monday night.
One person was shot and wounded, and four more sustained minor injuries while fleeing, Tisch added.
Tamura — who worked as a security guard at a Vegas casino — double-parked his vehicle before he would get out and storm the building with a rifle in plain view.
Since then, more information has come out on what went on inside the building during his reign of terror.
NYPD’s chief of detectives revealed on Wednesday that Shane Tamura opened fire on a helpless maid who miraculously escaped without injury.
“When he gets to the top floor, he sees a maid who has been there for years, beloved, just cleaning up and doing her job when everyone leaves,” John Chell, the chief of detectives, told Fox News’ “Fox & Friends.”
“He’s firing AR-15 rounds at her. The sheer terror. Thank God she got away — he made a right and she made a left.”
“The crime scene was horrible. Thank God this didn’t happen a half hour earlier. There were minimal people,” Chell said.
Shane Tamura Wants His Brain Studied
Midtown office shooter Shane Tamura left behind a note when he died.
The Midtown Manhattan office shooter left behind a three-page handwritten note that called out the NFL and said, “study my brain please” for the degenerative brain disease CTE.
He died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest, law enforcement said.
