Tuckahoe Man Hailed As Hero During Empire State Building Shooting

Brian Dillon of Tuckahoe has received praise by Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York City among others as the construction worker's actions may have saved lives.

 

While working on a loading dock in midtown Manhattan on the morning of Friday Aug. 24, Tuckahoe resident Brian Dillon alerted the NYPD to a man he saw in a suit, that had just, "shot another man in the head," in Dillion's words as reported by Newsday.

Dillon followed Johnson until he spotted a police car and then shouted out, "get the guy in the gray suit! He just murdered somebody!" according to Huffington Post.
