What is CTE? Why this brain disease is behind the shooting of Manhattan by Shane Tamura

Shane Tamura, the Crazed Gunman, who killed five people inside a midtown skyscraper, kept in many offices, mentioning CTE several times in his long manifesto, which could also be read as a suicide, as he ended his life after killing people in the office. CTE is a chronic traumatic encephalopathy, which is a degenerative brain disease caused by frequent head trauma, such as consulting or even sub-sambhog hits (blows that do not cause symptoms but still jerk the brain). Football players, boxers, hockey players, military giants are often diagnosed with the disease. Tamura claimed that he was suffering from CTE and convicted football for his condition. The New York Post reported that in his note, he thanked a documentary on CTE brain injuries and listed the names of several major neurocystists. “Terry Long, football gave me CTE and it had to drink a gallon of Antif.” Tamura wrote. “You can’t go against NFL, they will squash you.”“Please study the brain for CTE. Forgive me. League deliberately hidden the dangers to our brain to maximize profits. They failed us,” he wrote.In CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy), the brain deteriorates due to frequent hits over time – even if those hits do not cause a complete consent. CTE is rare and is not fully understood by doctors, and there is no way to diagnose the disease in a living person – doctors can only confirm the disease in the corpse after death. The disease has been linked to football, which is looking at the physical nature of contact, sports.The note mentioned the “Fenru brothers”-two ESPN reporters cooperate with the book “League of denial”. Somewhere else, the names of many doctors were painted on one page, including Dr. N. McKi, Head of Neuropathology at BU Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, and CTE Center, co-founder of Boston University. Christopher Novinski.Tamura is described as a mentally unstable person, but professional plays is not a history of playing football. But it is believed that his clear goal was the NFL office, which was in the same building, but he did not hit anyone from NFL and killed an executive Vesley Lapatter of Blackstone. Tamura worked as a security guard in Las Vegas Casino and did not report duty on Sunday. He passed through several states to reach New York City a few hours before the mass shooting. The Tamura car was seen passing on July 26 from Colorado, Nebraska and Iowa on 27 July, and from Columbia, New Jersey from 4:24 pm on Monday evening. And then he went to Manhattan. The police found a case of round, a loaded revolver, additional ammunition, magazines, a backpack and a rifle with a drug, searching for him to his car. He had a hidden firearm permit from Las Vegas with the expiry date of 2027.

CTE and Football

A 2017 study of CTE Center at Boston University found that 111 NFL brains were examined, 110 had some levels of CTE. In September 2024, a study by a football players health study at Harvard University showed that out of a sample of 2,000 former NFL players, about one -third believed that they had CTE.
