Four people died in a murder in the heart of Manhattan in New York on Monday, July 28, in offices that organized several companies, including the offices of the National Soccer League of the United States (NFL). The author of Tire, Shane Devon Tamura, died after committing suicide with his own weapon on the scene.
If the specific motivations of the shooter are always under investigations, the profile and past of Shane Tamura are revealed in the country’s media and the authorities draw the first hypotheses about the reasons that pushed him to enter a New York building to open fire.
Las Vegas resident
27 years, Shane Tamura lived in Nevada, Las Vegas. According to one of his friends at NBC News, he worked in a city casino.
He had a port of arms license, as well as the license and a BMW car, which allowed him to cross the United States to New York on Monday. Several weapons were also found in their vehicle.
The drugs prescribed to him were found in his car, announced the New York Police Service Commissioner Jessica Tisch, without specifying which.
The Nevada state authorities realized the psychiatric history, which man confirmed in a suicide letter found in his lifeless body.
Medical history
The man also suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (etc.), a neurodegenerative disease of which many professional players suffer after a prolonged sport enameled with many brain shocks.
This disease would be linked to Shane Tamura with a head trauma that occurred when he played American football. When he was in high school in southern California, the American practiced this sport in the competition, but this disease and his psychiatric history would have prevented him from continuing his career to become a professional player.
In any case, this is what the shooter deplores in his suicide letter. “You can’t go against the NFL, they will crush you,” he wrote according to an authority that consulted the text and quoted CNN.
In his letter, Shane Tamura asks him to “study his brain” and write to be “sorry for everything.”
A former high school student without history
The former shooter shooters, who dates from the school time, testified to the US media, describing an ever fun and good humor. “We would never have imagined that he would be associated with violence,” Caleb Clarke told NBC News.
One of his former coaches, Walter Roby, remembers a “very good player”, “discreet, kind and easy to train.” Other former comrades also indicate their excellence in football fields.
Therefore, the researchers analyze the assumption that Shane Tamura would have deliberately attended the NFL to denounce the fact that his medical history would have deprived him of a career.
