"A 27-year-old man from Ohio was taken into custody Friday morning after walking onto a stage at Civic Hall in Union Square with a firearm and threatening to kill himself, police sources said. The man waved the firearm before placing it to his head and making suicidal threats just before 10:30 a.m., according to sources. Event staff members tackled him and removed the weapon before officers arrived."
"Police said the man was arrested without further incident. A firearm was recovered at the scene, and no shots were fired. Authorities said charges are pending. No injuries were reported among attendees or staff. The incident prompted an alert for a possible active shooter at Civic Hall, a technology and innovation center on East 14th Street, though police later confirmed there was no ongoing threat."
