The unidentified man was transported to St. Luke’s Hospital in critical condition. His family had been in touch with police, according to the Daily News.
“His family and friends had recently notified cops that he was suicidal, and that he had a gun, sources said. Police believe he’s from Tennessee, and are still looking for his car.”
