NFL employee left seriously injured, hospitalized in Midtown mass shooting
NY Post
An NFL employee is among the wounded in Monday’s deadly shooting inside a Midtown skyscraper that housed the league’s offices.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell told league staffers in a letter, viewed by The Post, Monday night, that one of their own had been “seriously injured” in the shooting at 345 Park Avenue that took the lives of an off-duty NYPD officer and three others.
“He is currently in the hospital and in stable condition. NFL staff are at the hospital and we are supporting his family,” Goodell wrote in the message, while assuring league staff that “all of our employees are otherwise safe and accounted for.”
Mayhem erupted in Midtown when a rifle-wielding gunman, who police identified as Shane Tamura, walked into the 44-story office building that houses the NFL’s offices, along with Blackstone and other businesses and killed four people before he took his own life.
Officials have not identified three of the victims, but released the name of the fallen NYPD officer during a late-night news conference as 36-year-old Didarul Islam.
In his letter to NFL employees, Goodell praised law enforcement’s quick response and the heroism of Officer Islam.
