I asked his wife why he did it…(Gunman outside UN HQ)
32A week after Thanksgiving a family man held a shotgun to his head in an attempt to get UN to pay attention to his case...
What did he hand over to the UN? Who is he?
I was dying to know so I reached out to his wife and she told me...
From the News:
A standoff between a suicidal man armed with a shotgun and cops outside the United Nations building in Manhattan ended after nearly three hours Thursday, police said.
William Tingler, 65, of Ormand Beach, Fla. was slapped with charges of criminal possession of a weapon, making terroristic threats, menacing, reckless endangerment and obstruction, police sources said.
He was seen pacing on First Avenue between East 42nd and 45th streets late Thursday morning, pointing the gun at himself and refusing to drop it, sources said. When he was arrested, cops found him in possession of a “manifesto,” sources added.
Disturbing photos from the scene show the man, wearing a red jacket and blue jeans, pointing the firearm under his chin as cops tried to talk him down.
Tingler was taken into custody around 1:45 p.m. He was brought to a nearby hospital for psychological evaluation, police said.
