Police are piecing together why a man drove across the country with an assault rifle and shot five people, including an NYPD officer, in Midtown Mahanttan.
Authorities said the alleged gunman, identified as Shane Tamura of Las Vegas, Nevada, fatally shot himself after carrying out the deadly attack. Here’s what we know about him.
According to NYPD Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, Tamura drove from Nevada to New York City and entered New York the day of the shooting.
Tisch said he has a history of mental illness and acted alone, though investigators aren’t sure why he targeted 345 Park Avenue office building.
Tisch also said Tamura traveled cross country in recent days.
