Giants, Jets head coaches speak about mass shooting at building of NFL headquarters

Jennie Taer joins Jimmy Failla on ‘Fox Across America’ to discuss the details emerging about the shooting at an office building in New York City Monday evening. 

The New York City mass shooting Monday has hit close to home for sports fans.

Mayor Eric Adams said in a press conference Tuesday the shooter, identified as Shane Tamura, appeared to have targeted the National Football League. The shooting occurred at the same building as the league's headquarters in Manhattan.

The New York Giants and Jets play their home games just miles away from the league offices, and both teams' head coaches offered condolences.

"You all saw what happened at 345 Park Ave. Tragic. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people that were affected in that tragedy, here with the Giants," Giants head coach Brian Daboll said at training camp Tuesday.

Jets head coach Aaron Glenn added, "I wish it was a better morning. The thing that happened yesterday at the league office, as an organization, our thoughts and prayers go out to all the families. It's always tough to hear things like that and really try to stay focused. But you have to because you have a job to do. But you think about the families that go through that, and it's tough. It's tough."

A spokesperson for the New York Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital that Tamura had mentioned the NFL in a handwritten "suicide note," claiming he had CTE.

The National Football League Players' Association (NFLPA) released a statement early Tuesday morning
