Patricia Schiller, a retired NYPD detective, now a realtor, said when she noticed something strange: Her office’s air conditioner unit, normally lodged in the side window, was laying on the ground. And the blinds were completely drawn.
“We never put the blinds the way he had them,” she said. “He put everything down so nobody could see in. It didn’t feel right,” Schiller said. Checking her interior surveillance camera, she could hear someone breathing and moving around.
Armed with these clues she contacted a state trooper who was sitting at a nearby intersection.
“I said, ‘Listen to me, call you gotta call, but I’m 99.9% shot that the guy who shot the three people is in my office right now,’” Schiller said.
The trooper started for the building, but Schiller stopped him.
