New details after five killed, including suspect, near NFL headquarters

The gunman appeared to target the NFL offices but took the wrong elevator bank, Mayor Eric Adams said in a TV interview today.

The gunman had a note that “stated he had CTE,” or chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a condition that can affect football players who have had concussions, Adams said.

“He seemed to have blamed the NFL. The NFL headquarters was located in the building. And he mistakenly went up the wrong elevator banks,” Adams said in an interview with WPIX-TV.

“As you know, in many of our corporate buildings, based on the floors you want to get to, you have to go to certain elevator banks,” Adams said.

“And he went on the wrong elevator bank, which took him to Rudin Management. And that is where he carried out an additional part of his horrific shootings,” Adams said.
