“This never, never gets easy,” Adams said. “I thought about that today when the notification came over from the police commissioner that we had a number of shots fired.” The sh00ter, wielding an M4-style rifle, began firing inside 345 Park Avenue just after 6:30 p. m., fatally wounding four civilians and NYPD Officer Faisal Islam, 36, before ending his own life.
“He was saving lives. He was protecting New Yorkers,” Adams said, visibly emotional. “He embodied what this city is all about. A true blue New Yorker.”
Adams recalled encountering the officer’s family earlier that evening.

“This was his dad’s only son. I think about Jordan, my child. It is unimaginable to experience a loss of this magnitude,” he said.
NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch revealed disturbing new information about the assault.
At 6:28 p.m., 911 calls started flooding in about an active sh00ter at the office building.
Security camera footage captured the gunman stepping out of a double-parked black BMW carrying an M4 rifle.
He stormed into the lobby and instantly shot Officer Islam, then fired at a woman seeking shelter behind a pillar, and a security guard.
According to a statement from a victim in the hospital, the sh00ter also injured another man in the lobby.
The gunman then ascended to the 33rd floor, where he resumed his sh00ting spree, claiming another life before tragically ending his own with a self-inflicted gunshot to the chest.
“He entered the lobby, turned right, and immediately opened fire on an NYPD officer,” Tisch said. “He then sprayed the lobby with gunfire before taking the elevator to the 33rd floor, where he shot another victim and then killed himself.”
Tisch added, “This was a cold, brutal act of violence. We are still piecing together the motive.”
Mayor Adams, visibly shaken, called the sh00ting “a senseless act of violence”
Adams recalled standing inside Harlem Hospital after two NYPD officers were gunned down in 2022. “I remember hearing a family member scream, ‘No, God, please tell me it’s not true.’ I thought about that today when the notification came over from the police commissioner.”
