The Brooklyn man who took hostages and engaged police in a tense armed standoff at a money transfer store on Saturday night had some serious money troubles which led him to commit a violent act of desperation, police officials said.
According to NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey, the two-hour-long standoff began at around 7:45 p.m. on June 8 inside the Darwin Money Transfer store on Irving Avenue near Linden Street in Bushwick.
Police said the suspect, a 38-year-old man, walked into the location posing as a customer — then approached workers and announced his intention to rob the place. Two employees and a customer were inside the location at the time; authorities said one worker was able to escape and call 911.
That initiated a massive police response which included the 83rd Precinct, the Emergency Services Unit and members of the NYPD Hostage Negotiation Team. Drones were also deployed to survey the surroundings and give police further intel about the situation.
“When the officers responded, they saw that the door to the premises was barricaded with multiple chairs,” Chief Maddrey, said. “We immediately deployed drones up. We started a dialogue with the male.”
At one point, police sources said, the suspect had been spotted holding a gun to a hostage’s head, then pointing it at officers outside. But Maddrey noted the responding officers exercised restraint and instead chose to talk with the man to pursue a peaceful end to the impasse.

During negotiations, police got the suspect to reveal his apparent motives. He told police that he had been suffering from money troubles and gambling addiction, and wound up behind on his rent payments.
NYPD negotiators also brought in members of the suspect’s family to try and talk him into diffusing the situation. In time, the negotiations worked.
“They [cops] are able to relate to him, they are able to offer services. We did, at one point, get his brother, his brother was able to help us communicate. Eventually, his wife, one of his sons, came to the scene,” Maddrey said. “We were able to use them and more and more family members came and we were able to use them to leverage a surrender.”
Though police were able to get the suspect to surrender, they said it did not end with complications. The man exited through a back window and climbed down a ladder, but lost his footing along the way and fell a short distance. Though he briefly hyperventilated, Maddrey said, he was not seriously injured.
Police took him into custody and brought him to a local hospital for an evaluation. The two hostages were also medically evaluated. No serious injuries were reported.
Cops later determined that the purported gun that the suspect brandished was a fake.
King Charles would be “delighted” to have Princess Kate join the royal celebrations, according to a PR expert, as the monarch’s birthday parade looms.
The Princess of Wales, who began a course of preventative chemotherapy earlier this year, has not yet confirmed her attendance at this year’s Trooping the Colour ceremony.
Last month, Kensington Palace issued a rare update about Kate ahead of Trooping the Colour.
The princess, 42, will not attend the traditional rehearsal for the parade on June 8, officials confirmed in a rare update as she continues her cancer treatment.
However, Kate’s appearance at the official Trooping the Colour ceremony on June 15 continues to hang in the balance.
If she does appear on the Buckingham Palace balcony, this would inevitably take the attention away from King Charles, as it would mark Kate’s first official sighting in public in 2024.
Rhea Freeman, a multi-award-winning PR adviser, spoke exclusively to GB News, claiming King Charles would be happy to have Kate join the Royal Family on the balcony.
She said: “If Kate were to appear on the balcony it would definitely dominate the news.
“But from everything I’ve read and seen, I would imagine that the King would be delighted to have her there.
“It would reinforce the strength of the monarchy moving forward, something that has been questioned by some with both the King and Kate’s recent health concerns.”
Since announcing her cancer diagnosis earlier this year, Kate has stepped away from public duties as she recuperates in private.
This has meant the Princess of Wales has not performed any official duties so far in 2024.
ROYAL LATEST:
- ‘They can’t just take it away!’ Lady Victoria Hervey claims that King Charles ‘wants Prince Andrew’s house for Camilla’
- Brigitte Macron has AWKWARD faux pas she holds Queen Camilla’s hand
- King Charles ‘wants Prince Andrew’s house for Camilla’ as monarch tries to ‘force’ Duke out
King Charles, who was also diagnosed with a form of cancer earlier this year, initially stepped back from public duties.
However, the monarch has started to perform royal engagements again, even travelling to France on June 6 to mark the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings.
It was confirmed last month that the King will attend Trooping the Colour on June 15.
However, he will sit in a horse-drawn carriage beside Queen Camilla, as opposed to riding on horseback.

“O cease thy singing, maiden fair “
“Не пой, красавица при мне…”
“Ne poy krasavitsa pri mne…”
Не пой, красавица, при мне
Ты песен Грузии печальной:
Напоминают мне оне
Другую жизнь и берег дальный.
Увы! напоминают мне
Твои жестокие напевы
И степь, и ночь — и при луне
Черты далекой, бедной девы.
Я призрак милый, роковой,
Тебя увидев, забываю;
Но ты поешь — и предо мной
Его я вновь воображаю.
Не пой, красавица, при мне
Ты песен Грузии печальной:
Напоминают мне оне
Другую жизнь и берег дальный.
Oh, cease thy singing maiden fair
Those songs of Georgian land, I pray thee;
What e’er recall our life to me on foreign strand
I fain would banish.
And, ah! thy haunting lay brings back
remembrance of days, long, long departed,
I see the moon, the desert night
and her sad face and eyes imploring.
Ah! fond one, gently, ever near
A youth forever doth behold thee.
Yet when your face is always there
It will not waver, will not vanish.
Oh, cease thy singing maiden fair
Those songs of Georgian land, I pray thee;
What e’er recall our life to me on foreign strand
I fain would banish.
A. Pushkin
Александр Дугин – главный философ путинской России, его даже называют “мозгом Путина”. Дугин регулярно озвучивает нарративы Кремля, придавая им некий глубокий смысл. При этом многие западные политологи и журналисты считают его неофашистом, а к его философии относятся скептически.
Так кто же такой Александр Дугин и действительно ли он диктует Кремлю свои идеи, разбирается “Смотри в оба”.

Російський диктатор Володимир Путін не збирається зупинятися на Україні. Про це застеріг президент США Джо Байден у Парижі та пообіцяв подальшу підтримку Вашингтона Україні в її боротьбі проти російського вторгнення. “Путін не збирається зупинятися на Україні… Вся Європа опиниться під загрозою, ми не допустимо цього. Сполучені Штати міцно стоять поруч з Україною. Ми не підемо, повторюю це ще раз, ми не підемо”, – заявив він. Водночас перед зустріччю з Макроном адміністрація Білого дому наголосила, що американських солдатів на території України не буде, навіть у якості інструкторів. Байден цієї теми у Парижі публічно не торкався.
