A
source within the NYPD has reported that an armed 62 year old man tried
to sneak in to the Trump Tower late Tuesday night. Interestingly the
suspect who was found with a semi-automatic handgun fitted with a
silencer has been identified as Barry Lee Bush, a former Newark NJ FBI
agent who has been dead since 2007.
A
Secret Service agent discovered Bush after he had circumvented a
security partition on the bottom floor of the Trump Tower. Questioned
by Secret Service at the scene, Bush who initially identified himself as
Barry Franklyn, remained silent offering no explanation for why he
broke security at the Trump Tower.
According
to the NYPD source, Bush was arrested for trespassing and for illegally
carrying a pistol fitted with an illegal silencer. During his booking
at the NYPD Jail, Bush’s fingerprints were submitted to the National
Crime Information Center, which immediately reported Bush’s true
identity.
“I
wasn’t sure if our system had malfunctioned, so I rescanned his
fingerprints to confirm that our system was working correctly. There
was no system error. The man we have in custody was reported deceased in
2007 after being shot in an attempted bank robbery, “one source
speaking on anonymity said.
The New York Times reported on April 6, 2007
that Barry Bush, a veteran F.B.I. agent on a bank-robbery detail was
fatally wounded apparently when another agent’s weapon accidentally
discharged during a confrontation with three gunmen outside a bank in a
quiet town in central New Jersey.
Not actual gun
Speaking
about the weapon found on Bush, the NYPD source stated, “We don’t find
hardware like this on the streets–that Glock was never stamped at the
factory [serial number]—those pieces are reserved for people with a lot
higher pay grades than me.”
According
to a spokesman at the Newark FBI field office, Bush was killed in the
line of duty in April of 2007. Coincidentally, five minutes after we
got off the phone with him, a page honoring FBI agents who were killed
in the line of duty, went down on the FBI’s website.
It
is not clear what Bush’s intentions were for sneaking around security
to presumably access the service elevators at the Trump Tower, however
it does not take much imagination as to why Bush was carrying a silenced
pistol at the time of his arrest.
Trump
is in Florida today for rallies in Daytona Beach and Jacksonville.
Trump has informed us that he was not at the Trump Tower yesterday
evening and did not have any information about the incident, other than
an armed man had been arrested at his building and that it was not clear
about what Bush’s intentions were.
Mr.
Trump seemed to take the news that an armed dead person was found at
his NY building, with a grain of salt. Fortunately for his family and
supporters, Mr. Trump is still around to try to sort out this
interesting incident.
