Blackstone Executive Wesley LePatner Killed in Manhattan Shooting

quote [ Wesley LePatner, an executive who oversaw Blackstone’s real estate fund, was among four killed Monday in a shooting at the investment firm’s Manhattan headquarters ]

Just presenting the news. No commentary.

The news (some news at least) is claiming the intended target was the NFL and not Blackstone.

No speculation on why NFL might have been targeted?
The anticapitalist in me automatically wants to assume executive is shady and the system is trying to deflect from some shit.

Cops claim they found a letter on the shooter regarding CTE, but I think that's probably bullshit. They saw how the people responded to Luigi and are trying to avoid another folk hero.
