The 69-year-old man who brought the Flatiron building to a standstill on Wednesday told reporters he waved his finger, not a gun, at construction workers, and yelled at them about "drilling," not "killing."

Yesterday we received several reports of a possible hostage situation near the Flatiron building; it turned out that the gunman had no hostages, but had been menacing construction workers, and had barricaded himself indoors.
