Part 2/6:
Police reports confirm that Hansen traveled across the country before executing the attack. The shooting occurred in a high-rise office building located at 345 Park Avenue, an area bustling with business activity and home to various tenants, including prominent companies and the NFL. Shattered glass and a bullet hole outside the building marked the scene of the violence.
According to New York City Mayor Eric Adams, Hansen was a former high school football player and was attempting to access the NFL headquarters in the building—an evident target—before accidentally taking the wrong elevator. Security footage shows Hansen discharging his weapon multiple times during the attack, unleashing chaos and terror in a matter of minutes.
