A gunman who killed four people at a Manhattan office building was trying to target the headquarters of the National Football League (NFL) but took the wrong lift, according to New York City mayor Eric Adams.

Investigators believe Shane Tamura, of Las Vegas, was trying to get to the NFL offices after shooting several people on Monday in the building’s lobby but accidentally entered the wrong set of lifts, Mr Adams said in interviews on Tuesday.
