[quote=Anonymous]The killer was 27 years old and had played youth football at least through high school. Not sure whether he played beyond that. He has experienced significant mental health issues since at least 2022. He claimed he had CTE, which cannot be definitively diagnosed in a living person. He was angry because he believes the NFL downplays the risks of CTE in the name of profits. He went to NFL headquarters to commit high profile murders, seeking attention. He took the wrong elevator, couldn’t reach the right floor(s), and ended up shooting 5 people who had no connection to the NFL except being in the same building as NFL HQ. Four of those people are dead. He then took his own life. He had a note asking that his brain be studied (because he believed he had CTE).

If it turns out that he was just an ordinary mentally ill guy who didn’t have CTE, then he will have accomplished nothing except shooting 5 random people, killing 4, traumatizing numerous others, and committing suicide. His actions will have no meaningful impact on the discussion of CTE or related NFL policies. He will be dismissed as just another nut with a gun.

This is a terrible tragedy regardless of whether he actually had CTE, but my God, if he didn’t even have it…[/quote]
