A lone gunman killed four people in Midtown on Monday evening.

Surveillance shows a man entering a Manhattan office tower carrying an M4 rifle, opening fire in the lobby, then taking an elevator to the 33rd floor—the offices of the building’s owners. He fatally shot an NYPD officer and three others before turning the gun on himself.

The gunman, a 27-year-old from Las Vegas, carried a suicide note claiming he suffered from CTE (a brain disease linked to repeated head trauma) and requesting his brain be studied; the note said, “You can’t go against the NFL, they’ll squash you.” He reportedly played football in his youth and had a “documented mental health history.”

Authorities believe the gunman drove cross-country from Vegas, targeting the NFL offices located in the building, but landing on the wrong floor.

RADIATE HOPE
While mourning with victims, Christians have hope in the face of a violent world. The servant of God, who Himself did no violence, has been afflicted by His Father on our behalf so that we can live in the Lord’s peaceful presence forever.

“Yet he himself bore our sicknesses, and he carried our pains; but we in turn regarded him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced because of our rebellion, crushed because of our iniquities; punishment for our peace was on him, and we are healed by his wounds.”
