Shooting Details
Around 6:30 p.m., 27-year-old Shane Tamura of Las Vegas opened fire in the lobby of the Midtown Manhattan office building using a rifle equipped with a silencer, scope, and strap. NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch confirmed Tamura died from a self-inflicted gunshot on the 33rd floor, which houses Blackstone’s headquarters. Witnesses described the gunfire as resembling “an automatic weapon,” with one stating a “guy came in with an assault rifle and started shooting.”

Four victims were killed, including NYPD Officer Rasheedul Islam, who engaged Tamura in the lobby. Two individuals were detained at the scene; one reportedly shouted, “Free Palestine, I’m not the active shooter.” Investigators are probing whether Tamura targeted the NFL offices located in the building.
Film Production Unaffected
The Devil Wears Prada sequel, a follow-up to the 2006 hit, sees Streep reprising her role as icy Runway editor Miranda Priestly, Hathaway as former assistant Andrea Sachs, and Tucci as art director Nigel Kipling. Filming concluded hours before the shooting, with the cast photographed in character—Streep in a sharp silver ensemble, Hathaway in casual attire, and Tucci in dapper suits.
