Otherwise, Goodell said, in the note sent Monday night, that the NFL's employees are 'otherwise safe and accounted for, and the building has nearly been cleared.'
Four people, including an off-duty New York City police officer, were killed in the shooting at the league's Midtown Manhattan offices at 345 Park Avenue, and the gunman killed himself.
On Tuesday, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said the gunman targeted the NFL's headquarters but took the wrong elevator. He shot several people in the building's lobby before taking the elevator to the 33rd floor offices of the company that owns the building, Rudin Management, and shot and killed one person on the floor before shooting himself, New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said, according to the Associated Press.
Police said the shooter, Shane Tamura of Las Vegas, had a history of mental illness and a rambling note found on his body suggested he was angry with the NFL over his belief that he suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), the degenerative brain disease that has been linked to concussions and other head trauma in contact sports like football, after playing high school football in California a decade ago. Tamura said his brain should be studied after he died, according to the AP.
In addition to the NFL, the building houses the investment firm Blackstone and one of its employees was among those killed, according to the AP, and the financial services firm KPMG.
In the memo, Goodell said the NFL was 'deeply grateful to the law enforcement officers who responded to this threat quickly and decisively and to Officer Islam [the off-duty cop who was killed], who gave his life to protect others.'
Goodell said there would be increased security at 345 Park Ave. 'in the days and weeks to come' and that New York-based employees should work remotely Tuesday and it was understandable if people wanted to take the day off.
'Every one of you is a valued member of the NFL family,' Goodell said. 'We will get through this together.'
President Donald Trump said in a statement shared on social media Tuesday, 'I trust our law enforcement agencies to get to the bottom of why this crazed lunatic committed such a senseless act of violence. My heart is with the families of the four people who were killed, including the NYPD officer, who made the ultimate sacrifice.'

Chicago Bears training camp: Takeaways from Day 9
The Chicago Bears were back at Halas Hall for the ninth practice of training camp on Saturday, which featured some intriguing developments in the fourth padded practice of the summer. Quarterback Caleb Williams and the starting offense got off to a hot start during 1-on-1 and team drills, but things didn't end well during the two-minute drill. Still, according to Zack Pearson, "Williams and the offense are getting more and more comfortable" these last few practices, and Saturday was "another good day out there." It's certainly encouraging just ahead of preseason with Chicago slated to host the Miami Dolphins for a joint practice next week. Rookie tight end Colston Loveland also continued to thrive with receiver Rome Odunze showcasing his big-play potential. Here's what we learned from the eighth practice of training camp, from the offense's progress to Colston Loveland shining to Nahshon Wright's strong case for a roster spot. Caleb Williams, offense continue to get more comfortable For all intents and purposes, Caleb Williams had another impressive day of practice. But there were some mistakes made, which is to be expected. It's never going to be perfect, but the important thing is Williams continues to show progress. Greg Braggs said Williams was "dialed in once again" during Saturday's practice, where he made some impressive throws throughout the day. Braggs said Williams might've had his "best throw camp so far" when he delivered a tight throw into traffic where Braggs noted "tight window throw would be putting it mildly." But, once again, the two-minute drill continues to be the offense's downfall. After evading a pass rusher and delivering a touchdown to a wide open Cole Kmet, Williams "tried to sneak a ball into the end zone," per Michal Dwojak, and was intercepted by cornerback Nahshon Wright to end practice. But, as Zack Pearson noted, the "last few practices it feels like Caleb Williams and the offense are getting more and more comfortable" and said it was "another good day out there." Ozzy Trapilo took all reps with the starters The Bears' left tackle battle continued with a notable development: Rookie Ozzy Trapilo took all the reps with the starters during Saturday's practice, according to Adam Jahns. Following practice, offensive coordinator Declan Doyle noted they're still rotating, with today being slated for Trapilo. But it is noteworthy that Trapilo got the first crack taking every rep with the first team while Braxton Jones worked with the second and third teams with Kiran Amegadjie sidelined. Colston Loveland had another impressive day Another day, another practice where rookie tight end Colston Loveland continues to flash his potential in this offense. Loveland has only been practicing for a week, but he's already developed a nice rapport not only with Caleb Williams but Case Keenum and Tyson Bagent as he serves as a security blanket for his QBs. Mark Carman noted that Loveland "gets the ball a lot," which says a lot about his potential usage in this offense. Loveland was the recipient of a Caleb Williams strike of a touchdown pass to kick off 7-on-7 work. Loveland also had the "catch of the day," according to Adam Jahns, on a "back-shoulder jump ball" from Case Keenum with linebacker Ruben Hyppolite in tight coverage. Clay Harbor raved about Loveland being "a threat in the red zone" with a pair of touchdowns during 7-on-7 with his "unique blend of size and speed" that will make him a matchup nightmare. Rome Odunze showed out It's easy to lose sight of certain players in the Bears' loaded pass catching group, but second-year pro Rome Odunze continues to show everyone that he's primed for a breakout year. Odunze showed out several times during Saturday's practice, which included him going up and snatching a ball away from cornerback Kyler Gordon during 1-on-1 -- Greg Braggs said Odunze "mossed" Gordon. Later in practice, Odunze made a catch in between defenders from quarterback Caleb Williams, which got QB1 all fired up. Williams connected with Odunze again during the two-minute drill, hauling in a reception on a critical fourth down to keep the chains moving (although the drill ended in an interception). It's clear Williams and Odunze are furthering their connection, and they'll be a potent duo to watch as the season gets underway. It would be a shock if Nahshon Wright doesn't make the roster One of the biggest surprises of training camp has been the emergence of cornerback Nahshon Wright, who has been working with the first-team defense from Day 1 of training camp (with Pro Bowler Jaylon Johnson sidelined). Not only does Wright feel like a safe bet for the 53-man roster at this point, he's competing for the CB2 spot opposite Johnson. Right now, Tyrique Stevenson is his biggest competition. But while Stevenson has rotated at times with Terell Smith, Wright has worked with the starters throughout. Wright had a "stellar" interception of quarterback Caleb Williams to end practice, according to Patrick Finley. Wright, who worked with defensive backs coach Al Harris in Dallas, is making a strong case to serve an impact role in his first season with Chicago. Kyler Gordon continues to be impact player Newly-extended nickel cornerback Kyler Gordon has been a standout player throughout training camp, and he was making plays during Saturday's padded practice and showcasing his physicality and impactful play. According to Nicholas Moreno, Gordon "destroyed" running back D'Andre Swift with a big hit in the backfield during the team period. Greg Braggs said Gordon "looked like a missile" as he ran over Swift. Zack Pearson added Gordon came in "untouched" and garnered a huge reaction from the defense. During 1-on-1 drills, Gordon had "sticky coverage" against receiver Olamide Zaccheaus, per Moreano. While he didn't win one of his 1-on-1 reps against Rome Odunze -- who "mossed him" according to Braggs -- Gordon continues to show just how valuable he is to this Bears defense. Bad snaps continue to be an issue While the offense is making strides as training camp progresses, there's one lingering issue that continues to rear its ugly head in snapping issues. Every practice, there seems to be a mention of a bad/fumbled snap -- be it starters or reserves -- that needs to be cleaned up. Greg Braggs said it's been "a consistent theme" throughout training camp, and it popped up again Saturday. According to Braggs, there was a botched snap by Drew Dalman to Caleb Williams during team drills. Mason West added there was also a fumbled snap with Ryan Bates at center with quarterback Tyson Bagent. This is the time for this to happen. But the Bears need to get this cleaned up before Week 1. Attendance update As far as attendance goes, right guard Jonah Jackson returned to practice as he ramps up back from a leg injury suffered last week. With him sidelined, it was Ryan Bates getting reps with the starters at right guard. According to Kevin Fishbain, the following players didn't practice: Offensive tackle Kiran Amegadjie, guard Bill Murray, center Ricky Stromberg, cornerback Zah Frazier, defensive tackle Shemar Turner and running back Deion Hankins.

Doncic inks three-year $165 mln Lakers extension
Luka Doncic has signed a new long-term contract extension with the Los Angeles Lakers, the club announced on Saturday, in a deal reportedly worth $165 million over three years. The Slovenian star, who joined the Lakers in a jaw-dropping trade earlier this year, will remain with the Lakers for the next three years through to 2028. "Today is a monumental moment for our franchise. Luka Doncic's future is with the Los Angeles Lakers," Lakers president of basketball operations Rob Pelinka said in a statement. "Luka is one of the game's most transcendent players, and his on-court dominance and passion is without compare," Pelinka added. Doncic, 26, expressed delight at the deal, saying he hoped to lead the Lakers back to the summit of the NBA. "I'm really grateful to the Lakers organization, my teammates and the fans for welcoming me and my family with so much support and kindness since day one," said Doncic. "This is an amazing organization, and I truly believe in what we're building together. I'm going to keep working as hard as I can to bring another championship to Los Angeles and to make Laker Nation proud. This is just the beginning. Doncic joined the Lakers in February from the Dallas Mavericks in a trade deal that sent shockwaves around the league. He started 28 games to end the regular season, averaging 28.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 1.6 steals. Under his previous contract, Doncic could have become a free agent in 2026 but has now committed to the Lakers long-term. Doncic was offloaded by the Mavericks in a deal that sent the Lakers' Anthony Davis in the opposite direction. Mavericks' concerns about Doncic's physical conditioning were reportedly one of the reasons why the club felt willing to part company with the Slovenian, widely regarded as a generational talent. However Doncic has looked noticeably slimmer in recent photos and videos, the product of a gruelling off-season physical regimen that appears to have yielded impressive results. "Just visually, I would say my whole body looks better," Doncic told Men's Health magazine in a recent interview. "Every summer I try my best to work on different things. Obviously, I'm very competitive. This summer was just a little bit different, you know. It kind of motivated me to be even better." rcw/dmc
