In a horrifying evening of violence on Monday, July 28, 2025, a lone gunman opened fire inside the lobby of 345 Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan around 6:28\u202fp.m., killing NYPD Officer Didarul Islam and at least three civilians before turning the rifle on himself on the 33rd floor. A fifth victim remains in critical condition, and several others sustained minor injuries while fleeing the chaos.

Video surveillance reviewed by NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch showed Tamura disembarking his vehicle on Park Avenue between 51st and 52nd Streets, entering the lobby, immediately targeting Officer Islam, and then proceeding to spray gunfire broadly. He shot a security guard and a civilian in the lobby before boarding an elevator. On the 33rd floor\u2014which houses offices such as Rudin Management, the NFL headquarters, Blackstone, and KPMG\u2014the shooter killed another person and died by suicide in a hallway.

Officer Didarul Islam, 36, a nearly four\u2011year veteran of the NYPD from the Bronx\u2019s 47th Precinct, was off duty but on uniformed private security detail in the building at the time. An immigrant from Bangladesh, Islam leaves behind a pregnant wife and two young sons. City officials hailed him as a hero, emphasizing he was protecting innocent lives when he was killed.

Authorities from the FBI and NYPD continue to investigate Tamura\u2019s motive as the building and city remain on heightened alert. Officials recovered ammunition, magazines, a backpack, and prescribed medication from his vehicle; no explosives were found. Tamura had driven through multiple states\u2014including Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, and New Jersey\u2014on the journey to New York City. Hong Kong What precipitated this attack remains under scrutiny.

The tragedy has shaken New York City, prompting renewed debate over gun control, mental health policies, and public safety in high\u2011profile buildings. Mayor Eric Adams, Police Commissioner Tisch, and union officials joined in mourning the loss of Officer Islam and extending condolences to the victims\u2019 families as the broader investigation unfolds. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
