A hedge fund driver/retired NYPD lieutenant blew away a drugstore
bandit yesterday as the suspect tried to gun down three police officers during
a foot pursuit sources told the NY Post.
Thomas Barnes, 48, was filling his tank at the BP station on
East 119th Street and First Avenue at around 11 a.m. when he saw gunman Rudolph
Wyatt running from the store, and sprang into action.
He crouched behind his hedge-fund boss’ Mercedes SUV and
squeezed off three shots, killing Wyatt, 23.
The trigger-happy thug — wanted on warrants for two other
shootings — lay dead in a pool of blood on the sidewalk wearing a black
stocking mask with a wad of stolen cash spilling out of his pocket, witnesses
said.
“Part of the back of
his head was missing. He had a large head wound and there was tons of blood,”
said witness John Brecevich, 59, owner of the Original Patsy’s restaurant
nearby. “It was a scene straight out of NYPD Blue.”
