The father of the gunman who killed four people, including a New York City police officer, is a former Los Angeles Police Department cop, according to a new report.

The Los Angeles Times reported Shane Tamura’s father, Terence, is a former LAPD cop who mostly worked in the San Fernando Valley. He joined the department in 1967, according to the LA Times.

Tobenna Okunna, a football teammate at Golden Valley High School, where Tamura attended, told The Independent: “His dad [was] a cop, his mom was really nice.”

The LAPD has yet to confirm Terence’s employment, despite public records confirming it.

“The Los Angeles Police Department is aware of the online rumors and media inquiries suggesting a possible connection between the individual involved in the recent New York shooting and our department,” the department told The Independent.

“We take these matters seriously and are actively investigating the information. At this time, we are working to confirm details and gather the facts.”
