NYPD are looking for a man who may have twice identified himself as law enforcement (possibly from down south) who left a loaded gun in a hotel chair stuffed down in the cushions. Police say the man went to the 9/11 Memorial and asked about taking a gun inside and if off-duty police were allowed to carry guns inside. Told no, local security cameras show him going to a nearby hotel (Staff there said they didn't think he was a guest) and stashing the loaded handgun in a chair then getting back in line at the 9/11 Memorial. He stayed at the memorial for about a half hour before going back to the hotel where he noticed his gun was gone (NYPD had the gun but didn't yet have a description of the man) and bolted.
Unless southern police departments get their guns from pawnshops this man's story about being PD is sketchy. The gun NYPD recovered was traced to a Georgia pawnshop.
Exactly our thoughts.
