A memo came on Tuesday that told all NFL’s NYC employees to work externally at least through the end of next week.
“The office remains closed during this time and we ask that you are not trying to enter the building until we confirm that it is ready for us to return,” the note said.
Goodell also said in the memo that “our hearts go out to all the victims and their families, and we are deeply grateful to the first respondents and medical staff who acted so quickly and continue to care.”

New York City Mayor Eric Adams revealed on Tuesday on Fox 5 Ny’s “Good Day New York” that the gunman was trying to target the NFL’s headquarters but took the wrong elevator bank. He said the floor he took was to Rudin Management.
Adams added that Tamura was referring to suffering from chronic traumatic encephalopathy, better known as CTE. He had a complaint with NFL.
“He seemed to have blamed the NFL,” said the mayor. “The NFL headquarters were located in the building and he mistakenly went up the wrong elevator bank.”
Adams said investigators reviewed “suicide note” as the gunman left. An official told Pakinomist Digital that the three-page note was found in the gunman’s wallet and referred to CTE and expressed anger to the NFL over the degenerative brain disease.

“This has been a challenging time for our entire team. Continue taking care of yourself and each other. If you need further support, don’t hesitate to reach your manager or Mr. We are here for you,” said Goodell’s latest memo.
The other three victims killed in the shooting were Blackstone Executive Wesley Lepatner, security guard ALAND ETIENNE and RUDIN MANAGEMENT Associate Julia Hyman.
