Cross-Country Gunman’s NYC Rampage Kills 4, Including NYPD Officer

A lone gunman drove from Las Vegas to New York City and opened fire inside 345 Park Avenue on July 28, killing four people — including NYPD Officer Didarul Islam — and wounding others before fatally shooting himself.

• The 27-year-old suspect, later identified as Shane Tamura, arrived in Midtown around 6:24 p.m. and entered the lobby with an M4-style rifle.


• Officer Islam, a three-and-a-half-year veteran on paid detail, was shot in the lobby. Three civilians were also killed and an NFL employee remains in critical condition.


• Investigators recovered a handwritten note blaming football-related head trauma for Tamura's actions and are probing his motive as the NYPD and FBI continue their inquiry.

San Francisco registered the steepest drop in motor vehicle thefts among 36 major U.S. cities in the first half of 2025, with a 45% decline compared to the same period last year, according to a Council on Criminal Justice report.

• Robberies, burglaries and larceny thefts each dropped by about 25%.


• Assaults decreased by 12%, the smallest decline among major categories.

All crime categories now sit well below pre-pandemic levels, with violent crime down 28% and property crime down nearly 50% versus H1 2019.

Mooresville police say a 27-year-old man intentionally set fire to a vehicle on July 24 with an occupant inside, who managed to escape without serious injury. Officers identified Clayton Morrison Broyhill of Mooresville as the suspect and obtained a warrant for his arrest.

After refusing to come out initially, Broyhill surrendered to a Crisis Negotiation Team at a home in Mooresville on July 28. He now faces multiple charges, including assault with intent to kill, burning personal property, communicating threats, domestic violence and possession of a firearm by a felon. No motive has been released.

A 17-year-old was struck by gunfire on July 26 in the Summit County Fairgrounds parking lot just after closing time. Summit County Sheriff's detectives, aided by Tallmadge police, responded swiftly and say the teen's non–life-threatening injuries were not fatal.

Investigators are now examining possible links between the late-night shooting and a spate of disturbances the previous evening, which included false rumors of an armed gunman, stone-throwing at animal barns and a physical altercation that closed the fair early.

Panola County Sheriff's Department investigators in Mississippi will soon be outfitted with Axon body-worn cameras thanks to an $8,000 gift from the Delta Regional Foundation, the department announced Monday.

The donation was delivered by foundation Board President Sherrie Driver—a retired investigator from the Olive Branch Police Department—and will "assist investigators in working their assigned case load, as well as other incidents they may become involved in," according to a news release.
