A Blackstone executive who was a married mom of two was among the four people k!lled by the crazed gu::nman who sh0t up a Midtown office building, the company confirmed Tuesday.

Wesley LePatner, a senior managing director for the financial giant, was sh0t and k!lled in the lobby of the ritzy Park Avenue office tower when Shane Tamura opened f!re in anger at the NFL, which shares the same building.

“We are heartbroken to share that our colleague, Wesley LePartner, was among those who lost their lives in the tragic incident at 345 Park Avenue,” Blackstone told The Post in a statement.

“Words cannot express the devastation we feel. Wesley was a beloved member of the Blackstone family and will be sorely missed.

“She was brilliant, passionate, warm, generous, and deeply respected within our firm and beyond.

“She embodied the best of Blackstone. Our prayers are with her husband, children and family.”

LePatner joined Blackstone in 2014 and served as the global head of Core+ Real Estate and chief executive officer for Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust — a $53 billion property owner, according to Bloomberg.

The Yale graduate previously worked at Goldman Sachs for more than a decade and served on numerous Big Apple boards, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Tamura entered the skyscraper around 6:30 p.m. and first gu::nned down NYPD officer Didarul Islam — a father of two whose wife is pregnant with their third child.

He then proceeded to spray the lobby with gu::nf!re, fatally sh00ting a woman hiding behind a pillar and a security guard crouching behind his desk, according to the police.

After gu::nf!re erupted, Blackstone employees shared messages over email and Microsoft Teams warning others about the gu::nman downstairs, an employee told the Wall Street Journal.

After the massacre in the lobby, Tamura allowed a woman to walk out of the elevator unharmed and then headed up to the 33rd floor — home to building owner Rudin Properties’ offices.

 

The man wanted to sh00t up the NFL’s offices on levels 5 through 8 — but “mistakenly went up the wrong elevator banks,” Mayor Eric Adams said Tuesday.

He began sh00ting again, k!lling one person, before walking down a hallway and sh00ting himself in the chest, police said.

How the sh00ting unfolded

Reports of the sh00ting at 345 Park Ave. start coming in around 6:28 p.m.
Shane Tamura, 27, is seen getting out of a black BMW between 51st and 52nd streets with an M4 rifle.
He enters the lobby and turns right, where he sh00ts police officer Didarul Islam, 36, d3ad.
Tamura gu::ns down a woman cowering behind a pillar in the lobby, sprays more bullets and walks toward the elevator bank — where he sh00ts d3ad a security guard crouching at his desk.
One more man reports being sh0t and injured in the lobby. He was in critical but stable condition.
The gu::nman allows a woman to walk out of the elevators unharmed before heading up to the 33rd floor, where building owner Rudin Properties’ offices are located, “and begins to walk the floor, firing as he traveled.”
One man is sh0t and k!lled on that floor before Tamura sh00ts himself in the chest.
It’s unclear how long the mayhem lasted. Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch posted on X at 7:52 p.m.: “The scene has been contained and the lone sh00ter has been neutralized.”

Tamura, a standout football player in high school, was found with a note in his pocket that expressed an issue with the NFL and claimed he suffered from CTE — a brain injury linked to head trauma, sources said.

The scrawlings made reference to former NFL star Terry Long, the Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman who was diagnosed with CTE after downing antifreeze to k!ll himself in 2005, according to sources.

“Please study brain for CTE. I’m sorry. The league knowingly concealed the dangers to our brains to maximize profits. They failed us,” Tamura’s note read.
