usiness leaders are stepping up security measures for employees following the deadly shooting at a Manhattan office tower. The attack, which left four people dead including an off-duty NYPD officer, has highlighted the need to protect all workers, not just executives.

    The incident occurred on Monday evening when gunman Shane Tamura, 27, entered the building at 345 Park Ave with a semi-automatic weapon and began firing. Tamura's rampage lasted for several minutes before he took his own life.

    In response to the tragedy, business leaders are vowing to increase security measures, including active shooter training for employees. Kathy Wylde, CEO of the NYC Partnership, said that businesses will be reminding employees about safety protocols and increasing visible security in lobbies.

    Another executive at a major bank revealed plans to implement formal active shooter training, which involves being aware of potential gunmen, assessing the situation, and engaging in a "run, hide, fight" strategy. However, some companies are hesitant to disclose their new security measures due to concerns that it may be used by other perpetrators.

    The shooting has also raised questions about the mental health of Tamura, who had a history of mental illness and was motivated by a personal vendetta against the NFL. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of prioritizing employee safety in the workplace.
