Some of the accounts say he may have self terminated on the 33rd floor. 

In other words he ate a bullet.

It’s mostly unconfirmed reports at this point but it sounds like from what I could read from unofficial X accounts that I cannot verify their veracity that perhaps the shooter went to the floor(s) the NFL was on. But again this is just fucking rumors at this point and I would think Roger Goodell has his own security team. I would think?

Guessing disgruntled former employee or client on this one. Going out on a big limb, I know. 

Yeah he seemed to know the building and have a sense of purpose but we don’t know. It seems like that black sedan they have been showing the bomb squad checking out that was parked right outside is his.

It could also be someone who came to kill their former romantic partner. I know the NFL network itself is in flux and ESPN is looking to purchase the RedZone and I know people have been laid off from there and shit, but most of these businesses in this building are very well known. Hopefully, once they complete their 44 floor sweep we can get a press conference. Does sound like helicopters may be evacuating people out on life flight. 
 

there are still multiple people who have been shot and haven’t been bused off. The sheer number of ambulances and stretchers that are there basically just outside the lobby is pretty damn scary. No one has been unloaded onto any of them.

Some of the news outlets saying he is from Las Vegas, Nevada? What the fuck? Also that he is not a current employee in that building. This is confusing as fuck now. Why that building?

I really feel like this is a football thing? Because so many of the sports people are commenting and not just because the NFL happens to have an office there.

I’d definitely buy a psychotic break related to his perception of being harmed by the NFL

I mean it seems logical. He had a reason to pick that specific building. All the major sports people are covering this angle. It sounds like 6 total shot (includes the shooter) and we know two of those shot are dead (includes shooter) and the cop who was killed in the lobby was a woman.

My younger daughter's office is at 52nd and Park. She was out of the office on business but the office was locked down and everyone said it was crazy.

Obviously he got in the building but no idea of anything more than people have been shot. 

Sorry, I'm going to withhold my judgement until an expert tells me that that gun actually is no more damaging ballistically than a .22, and it's not a big deal that mentally disturbed individuals can legally obtain them.

Captain Speirs said it best:

 "The only hope you have is to accept the fact that you're already dead. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to function as a soldier is supposed to function: without mercy, without compassion, without remorse. All war depends upon it,"

Per the presser: 6 people shot. Two other males and one female are deceased. One cop was killed in the lobby and he was a male. The shooter shot himself. One of the people shot is a male who is in the hospital fighting for his life. 
 

He shot most of them in the lobby. Ruden (spelling) management was on the floor he selected and shot one male on that floor. He then shot himself in the chest, he drove his black BMW from Las Vegas Nevada to NY. 
 

his vehicle traveled cross country to NY where he arrived today. 
 

he has a documented mental health history, they don’t have a clue why he targeted the building or cannot say at this time and are working through to figure it all out. He actually encountered a woman who exited the elevator in the lobby whom he allowed to pass without harming. 
 

they think he’s a lone shooter and there is no longer an active threat. 
 

Officer Islam was 36 years old serving in the 47th precinct and was an immigrant from Bangladesh he was a Christian and he was a cop for 3 years. he was a father of two. 
He was working in the lobby of the building and engaged in a shootout with the shooter trying to save people and he died,

Add not using turn signals as potential crimes he committed.

It's not like this country cares if it happens in a school... at least not anymore.

We've crossed into everyone for themselves territory. 

I have this one school year left then my youngest graduates and we don't have to worry about schools anymore. Wouldn't be upset if my daughters worked and lived at home until/if they marry. The country is broken beyond belief

The country doesn’t care if it happens at a school, but I still do. I’m not sure why, but I do.

According to Mayor Adams the shooter left a suicide note. Adams also mentioned something about the shooter blaming the NFL for his CTE which is I suppose why he shot himself in the chest. Clearly he had mental issues but he didn’t play football after his senior year in high school which was nine years ago. Doesn’t mean he didn’t have CTE. But his beef was with the NFL. 
 

according to Adams he intended to go to the NFL offices but when he got on the elevators he got onto the wrong elevator bank.
 

So basically he drove all the way from Vegas to NY. Only to spray the lobby with bullets and hit no one connected to the NFL. Gets on the wrong elevator bank goes to a random wrong floor and kills someone else who had nothing to do with his beef. I guess he also recognized he had no hope of getting to the NFL offices as everyone was already sheltering in place and there was no way to get to his intended target? 
 

Once he realizes a police response is on the way he Takes his own life. That’s pretty much all I was able to gather from checking the NY news. 
 

Maybe he thought if he did that back in Vegas on his high school football field no one would care to see whether or not he had CTE?

His beef is valid insofar as the NFL is the main driver against anyone that speaks out against the potential dangers/safety issues of full-contact football and how the game is played. That shit trickles down and is only going to get worse with how much money kids can make in football nowadays.

Doesn't mean the answer is shooting up an office building, but when the NFL squashes any kind of dissent and spends millions discrediting any and all scientific studies that show the negative effects of the sport, and our elected officials don't give a shit, what's the recourse?

Fuck em

He had the capacity to drive himself across country, arm himself, use Google Maps and internet, write a letter, and then preserve his head for study.

Fuck em. I don’t want to know his name or understand his terroristic cause.

It appears he was playing high school football a couple years after Seau killed himself which was in my recollection the holy shit moment in the CTE/football rules changes situation.   It will be interesting to see if there is any effort to actually diagnose him, which can only be done via autopsy.

Life is so fragile. 

Statistically speaking, life is not all that fragile.  Poor diet, alcohol, drugs, sedentary lifestyle, excessive speeding or driving under the influence, carcinogens in our food & environment, chemtrails, viral and bacterial outbreaks, gun and other modes of violence, war, the list goes on, and yet the average life expectancy of Americans is at an all-time high.

You literally posted the same data as JJ except truncated by 2 years to fit your narrative. If there ever was a perfect microcosm of the perils of having all this info at anyone's fingertips, this is it. People are fucking lazy.

I agree with you, it's disgusting that this dude chose this method of getting attention, and a bunch of people working in an office building definitely don't deserve to have their lives put in danger or be killed over this. I'm just saying that maybe this kind of thing never happens if we A) have adequate mental health care in this country and B) don't let powerful orgs like the NFL use their muscle to suppress widespread knowledge of the negative affects of their sport. 

There have been numerous studies that show an alarming number of football players even just among HS/college ranks that end up with CTE or similar trauma and the suppressive methods of the NFL trickle down through all levels of the sport. It's only going to get worse now that life changing money can be made without "going pro".

You go in for a normal day at work and end up dying because some crazy person with a gun went to an unintended place. Life is so fragile. 

Yep. Could happen at your local HEB on any given day. There’s nothing we can do about it. Guns uber alles
