La policía dice que el pistolero del tiroteo en un edificio de oficinas de Manhattan intentó atacar las oficinas de la NFL. En una nota encontrada en el bolsillo del pistolero y obtenida por CBS News, aludía a padecer ETC. Ex jugador de fútbol americano en el instituto, culpó a la NFL de sus supuestos problemas médicos.

Manhattan

Investigators in Manhattan are examining a note left by Shane Tomorrow, the suspect in a recent Midtown shooting, which references chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and accuses the NFL of concealing the dangers of brain injuries. Tomorrow, who previously played high school football and worked as a security guard, had a valid concealed carry permit despite prior mental health incidents, including one where he allegedly expressed suicidal thoughts.

Authorities confirmed that Tomorrow assembled the weapon used in the attack with parts purchased by an associate, who is now being questioned. The four victims have been identified as Julia Hyman, Wesley LaPattner, Alanda Tien, and NYPD officer Deidreul Islam. The medical examiner will analyze Tomorrow's brain as part of the standard autopsy procedure, as CTE can only be diagnosed posthumously.

Un hombre armado de Manhattan dejó una nota e intentó atacar las oficinas de la NFL, según la policía

Mientras los investigadores tratan de reconstruir cómo se desarrolló el tiroteo del lunes en el centro de Manhattan, CBS News ha obtenido una nota escrita por el pistolero, Shane Tomorrow de 27 años. Hacía varias referencias a la encefalopatía traumática crónica, o CTE, y decía en parte, estudien mi cerebro, por favor. Parecía culpar a la NFL diciendo, cito, la liga ocultó a sabiendas los peligros para nuestros cerebros para maximizar los beneficios. Nos fallaron. Mientras crecía, Tomorrow jugaba al fútbol en el instituto del sur de California. Más recientemente, la policía dice que trabajó en un turno de seguridad nocturno en el Hotel y Casino Horseshoe Las Vegas. Los registros públicos revelan Mañana fue licenciado por la junta de investigadores privados de Nevada y la policía confirmó que tenía un permiso válido de portación oculta. Más tarde tuvo al menos dos incidentes de salud mental, incluyendo uno en el que supuestamente dijo a la policía que tenía tendencias suicidas, pero su permiso no fue revocado. Un rifle de asalto estilo AR-15 fue ensamblado por el Sr. Mañana utilizando un receptor inferior comprado por un socio. Hemos localizado a ese asociado y a otros, y le interrogaremos sobre esa compra. Mientras tanto, las cuatro víctimas asesinadas han sido identificadas. Julia Hyman, una asociada de la firma inmobiliaria Rudin, Wesley LaPattner, director ejecutivo de Blackstone, Alanda Tien, guardia de seguridad, y Deidreul Islam, agente de la policía de Nueva York. Era un buen hombre. Era un buen hermano. Era un buen marido. Era un buen hijo para sus padres. Siempre aparecía. Cada vez que alguien necesitaba ayuda, él siempre estaba allí. En términos de las preocupaciones del pistolero CTE, debemos señalar que la enfermedad no puede ser diagnosticada en pacientes vivos. Nos pusimos en contacto con el médico forense aquí en la ciudad que dijo que su cerebro sería analizado como parte de la autopsia. El portavoz dijo que es el procedimiento habitual.
