In an extraordinary turn of events, the gunman who travelled from Las Vegas to New York in order to exact revenge on the National Football League (NHL), which he blames for the debilitating chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) he incurred from years of playing American football, took the wrong set of elevators in the Manhattan high-rise building and ended up killing four completely unconnected people in a different office, before turning the gun on himself.
Theis is an incredibly sad story, on a whole host of levels. Even if he had found the correct NHL office, killing as bunch of staffers there would hardly have been much fairer. The gunman never played in the NHL, but did play football as a teenager, but he is probably correct in blaming the constant head traumas that characterizes football for his CTE. Killing a few random employees of the NHL probably made a whole lot of sense to this desperate young man.
