   CNN’s Erin Burnett is being skewered for reporting that the gunman who   
   opened fire in a Midtown skyscraper — killing an NYPD cop and three others   
   — was “possibly white” after viewing the initial security footage released   
   immediately after Shane Tamura’s deadly rampage.   
      
   In the photos first shared online, Tamura, 27, was captured in broad   
   daylight walking into 345 Park Ave. with a Palmetto State Armory AR-15   
   rifle in his hand.   
      
   Burnett said police knew the gunman had “sunglasses, mustache, male,   
   possibly white” during a broadcast shortly after the shooting Monday   
   evening.

   CNN host Erin Burnett reported that New York City shooter Shane Tamura was   
   “possibly white” during a Monday broadcast.   
      
   The chilling image of Tamura with the AR-15, however, showed him with a   
   possibly darker or ethnically mixed complexion.   
      
   Early police reports also suggested the suspect might be of Middle Eastern   
   descent.   
      
   Online critics slammed Burnett’s statement for being too premature and   
   presumptive.   
      
   “He may be a bunch of different things, basically anything BUT white,” one   
   internet commenter said.

   “CNN should be shut down.  They have not reported a truthful story in what   
   seems like forever,” another commenter on X said.   
      
   Other users said the suspect’s race was “irrelevant.”   
      
   How the shooting unfolded   
   Reports of the shooting at 345 Park Ave. start coming in around 6:28 p.m.   
   Shane Tamura, 27, is seen getting out of a black BMW between 51st and 52nd   
   streets with an M4 rifle.   
   He enters the lobby and turns right, where he shoots police officer   
   Didarul Islam, 36, dead.   
   Tamura guns down a woman cowering behind a pillar in the lobby, sprays   
   more bullets and walks toward the elevator bank — where he shoots dead a   
   security guard crouching at his desk.   
   One more man reports being shot and injured in the lobby. He was in   
   critical but stable condition.   
   The gunman allows a woman to walk out of the elevators unharmed before   
   heading up to the 33rd floor, where building owner Rudin Properties’   
   offices are located, “and begins to walk the floor, firing as he   
   traveled.”   
   One man is shot and killed on that floor before Tamura shoots himself in   
   the chest.   
   It’s unclear how long the mayhem lasted. Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch   
   posted on X at 7:52 p.m.: “The scene has been contained and the lone   
   shooter has been neutralized.”   
   NYPD Officer Didarul Islam, 36, was gunned down in the lobby, and three   
   civilians who have not yet been identified were also fatally shot when   
   Tamura stormed the swanky Midtown skyscraper early Monday evening — before   
   turning the gun on himself, police said.   
      
   The 27-year-old maniac barged into the 44-story building — which houses   
   the headquarters for financial giant Blackstone and the NFL — armed with a   
   rifle and opened fire around 6:30 p.m. during the evening rush, cops and   
   law enforcement sources told The Post.   
      
   Tamura, who authorities said had a “mental health history,” unleashed his   
   rampage after setting foot in the lobby, first gunning down Islam, NYPD   
   Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a Monday evening press conference.   
      
   Footage posted to social media shows bystanders running for their lives   
   outside the building, and workers were also later seen filing out of the   
   high-rise with their hands up.   
      
      
   --   
   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.   
      
   Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.   
      
   Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama   
   / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
