Midtown Shooting – RIP Didarul Islam- NYPD Officer Killed
Around 6:30 pm tonight, a 27-year-old man from Las Vegas was an ‘active shooter’ inside 345 Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan. He walked in and immediately opened fire with a M4 rifle. He then went on the elevator to the 33rd floor, shot some people and then killed himself.
Tonight, the NYPD Police Commissioner said that the Las Vegas police said the shooter had a history of mental health issues.
On Tuesday morning, the news shared that the shooter was a high school football player. The shooter wrote that he had CTE and wanted his brain scanned. CTE, Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy is a disease that many football players get. It can only be detected in the brain after someone is deceased.
The shooter had a note in his pocket about the NFL, a company that has an office at 345 Park Avenue. The shooter went to the wrong floor in the building because the elevator he used did not go to the floor where the NFL was located.
Didarul Islam, a 36-year-old police officer and four other people were killed (three men and a woman).
These beautiful people were killed for no reason – four distraught families left to mourn for the rest of their lives.
Officer Didarul Islam was wearing his uniform while moonlighting as a security guard at 345 Park Avenue.
Several other people were injured by the shooter. One is in critical condition in the hospital. It was a terrible evening in Manhattan.
RIP Didarul Islam.
He leaves behind a wife and two sons. His wife is pregnant with their third child. When his father heard the news, he had a stroke and was taken to the hospital. His wife was also taken to the hospital. Source:
