From Breitbart: NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has paid tribute to fallen NYPD Officer Didarul Islam, who was killed Monday night when a shooter opened fire in a building containing the league’s headquarters.
“A gunman committed an unspeakable act of violence in our building at 345 Park Avenue. One of our employees was seriously injured in this attack,” Goodell said in the statement to NFL employees.
“He is currently in the hospital and in stable condition. NFL staff are at the hospital and we are supporting his family.”
The wounded NFL employee has been identified as 41-year-old Craig Clementi.
“We are deeply grateful to the law enforcement officers who responded to this threat quickly and decisively, and to Officer Islam, who gave his life to protect others,” Goodell said.
“There will be an increased security presence at 345 Park Avenue in the days and weeks to come,” Goodell wrote. “Every one of you is a valued member of the NFL family. We will get through this together.” Goodell continued, memorializing Islam and crediting him with laying down his life while protecting others.
