Midtown Building Locked Down as Cops Look for Perp

2008_07_aftlockdown.jpgScary: A reader emailed us, "Sooo we’re currently on lockdown in my office building in midtown Manhattan (232 Madison at 37th). There are cops here and we were told to stay in our offices with our doors locked because apparently there’s a guy in a green shirt with a gun in the building." Another added that East 37th Street between Madison and 5th Avenues is shut down.

I have a green shirt with a gun on it, but I swear that it isn't me. I'm nowhere near there today, and I'm not even wearing that shirt.

hah--i just quit a job on 38th and Madison yesterday. i wonder if they think it's me!

i'm wearing a green shirt and I'm on 36th too, good thing nanny bloomberg won't let me have a gun permit - otherwise i'd be fucked!


This brings back memories of that time in junior high when the Decepticons infiltrated our school. We were under lockdown in the locker room for a couple of hours while the authorities dealt with the gang members.

don't they fire people on Friday?

There's actually a gang called the Decepticons? There's an Autobots themed car club in Flatbush, but wtf?

they found the guy, looks like he belongs in the yakusa with tattoos all over his body. for some reason, he was shirtless. saw the detail on the back tattoo, it says "456". it's a white pudgy shaven head guy.

So he's part of the Green line crew then Jacque?

he's white...so not a terrorist. just a whack job.
