Rifle-toting NYC shooter kills 5 —including NYPD officer — injures six before turning gun on himself at Blackstone, NFL HQ

A police officer and at least four other people were shot and killed, and several others injured, by a crazed gunman who stormed a swanky Midtown skyscraper early Monday evening — before turning the gun on himself, sources said.

The 27-year-old maniac, identified by sources as Shane Tamura, barged into the 44-story building — which houses Blackstone and the NFL headquarters — armed with a rifle and opened fire at around 6:30 p.m. during the evening rush, law enforcement sources told The Post.

Chilling images showed the gunman, who’s from Las Vegas, calmly strolling across the Park Avenue building’s entry plaza with an assault rifle at his side before carrying out the carnage.

Sources told The Post the number of victims are expected to rise and authorities search the high-rise in the aftermath of the mayhem.

At least one police officer at the scene was shot in the back and died at a hospital. Four civilians were also gunned down and several others were injured, sources said.

After opening fire, Tamura barricaded himself inside the skyscraper and was discovered dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound on the 33rd floor, where other victims were being found, sources said.

Another photo obtained by The Post shows the gunman lying, apparently already dead, on the ground of the 33rd floor.
