I will start with the four people who went to work and lost their lives. According to reports, the number of the dead can increase because others were wounded. This tragedy happened about 6:30 pm eastern and the victim's names have yet to be released.
Since 9/11 where 3000 people were killed and subsequently many more in the months that followed from asbestos and other factors, New Yorkers feel a pit in their stomachs every time something so violent happens. Is this an act of terrorism?
While a mass shooting certainly can be considered domestic terrorism, the shooter left a three page letter explaining his actions. Shane Tamura was a former football player who claimed he suffered from chronic trauma encephalopathy or CTE.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said, "One of our employees was seriously injured in the attack. He is currently in the hospital in stable condition. Every one of you is a valued member of the NFL family, we will get through this together. "
Goodell released the statement in a memo in which he also talked about having an increased security presence in the days and weeks to come.
Let me be clear, there's no excuse for what the shooter did. This is a sad reminder of how dangerous our world has become. Instead of seeking solutions for your own problems you choose to take your own life, but you want to bring as many innocent victims as you can with you. I also want to be clear when I say, it's tragic, senseless, and domestic terrorism.
