Goodell told employees in the email to “plan to work remotely at least through the end of next week,” saying the office would remain closed until staffers could safely return.
Monday’s shooting wounded an NFL employee, who was reported to be in stable condition at a nearby hospital.
Goodell said the employee was “seriously injured” and is now recovering, noting the NFL believes all other employees are otherwise safe and accounted for.
The shooter, identified as 27-year-old Shane Tamura, opened fire on people in the building’s lobby, later rode the elevator to the 33rd floor and shot another person before shooting himself in the chest, according to law enforcement.
