Medical examiner will decide if NYC shooter Shane Tamura’s brain will be tested for CTE, Adams says

The brain of depraved shooter Shane Tamura could possibly be tested for chronic traumatic encephalopathy during an examination of his body, Mayor Eric Adams said Tuesday.

The city’s Office of Chief Medical Examiner will determine if the 27-year-old ex-football player’s brain will be studied for CTE, Adams told CNN.

“The ME, medical examiner here in the city, he would make that determination on the next steps in collaboration with the district attorney in Manhattan County,” Adams said.

Tamura, who was a high school football star, left behind notes that claimed he suffered from the brain condition that is often the result of taking hits to the head.

The medical examiner’s office, in an email, did not commit to specifically probing CTE – but said a general examination of the brain would take place as part of the autopsy.

When asked specifically about testing for CTE, the medical examiner’s office said it can’t comment on an ongoing probe.

The Post has sought comment from the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.
