The NFL has revealed its decision on its New York City headquarters at 345 Park Avenue following last month’s tragic mass shooting.
The league’s office was the target of the incident that left five people dead and one person nursing serious injuries on July 28.
Shooter Shane Tamura of Las Vegas killed four people, including a police officer, before turning his weapon on himself.
A note was found in his pocket, suggesting he blamed the league for what he believed was CTE. He didn’t make it to the league’s office because he took the wrong bank of elevators, according to reports.
With nearly a month gone, the NFL headquarters is beefing up security, with league executive vice president Jeff Miller revealing as much in an interview with OutKick.
When asked whether there would be any changes in the wake of the attack, Miller disclosed that all of the building’s tenants are working together to improve security.
“Yes is the answer to the question,” he said. “We are working with the building and tenants within the building on building security.”
“We’re very lucky that our security chief Cathy Lanier, the former police chief in Washington D.C., has tremendous experience in this space and that we have terrific partners in the building as we look for ways to make it even more secure than it was before.”
Miller noted that the NFL headquarters won’t be the only area receiving an upgrade in security. The league owners’ committee on security is recommending added security measures for all 32 teams following reports of a league-wide memo.
The individual who was injured was a member of staff at the league’s office and was fortunate not to suffer fatal injuries. Sadly, four other innocent victims perished.
