Police launched a massive manhunt along the scenic Hudson River hiking trails of Putnam County on Thursday for the Queens man suspected of fatally shooting one ex-business associate and wounding another on Long Island.
Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano said the white 2008 Honda Pilot driven by suspected gunman Sang Ho Kim, 63, was found Wednesday night at about 11 p.m. in Cold Spring.
"[We] are not releasing what was in [the] car, except to say [the] suspect was not there," Mangano told News 12.
"We hope to see this ending today. We hope he's in that area. If you see something, say something. We're going to continue to hunt the suspect down," he said.
Gun-toting cops were searching the quaint village on the banks of the Hudson, and officials ordered the nearby Haldane school district closed for the day for fear that the armed Kim was still in the area.
The disgruntled contractor opened fire in his old Long Island office Wednesday — forcing a lockdown at the nearby Roosevelt Field Mall.
The gunfire at the East Garden City lighting company caused a panic among shoppers at the mall, four days after a massacre in a Kenyan mall that was besieged by armed terrorists.
"We were in line, and suddenly someone said the store is being closed and we had to leave," said German tourist Anna Stellar. "Then we heard there was a shooter somewhere outside. Of course, the first thing I thought of was Kenya."
A mall employee who identified himself as John said he thought the same thing when he heard of the shooting.
"I was on my lunch break and I see all the police and helicopters at the mall, and right away I thought this was connected with Kenya," he said.
"This is the perfect area for that — it's a very popular, busy mall."
Kim walked into the offices of Savenergy — a company that manufactures energy-efficient light fixtures — at around 10 a.m. Wednesday to settle a vendetta and fired at the two victims, according to the Nassau County police.
"The company was occupied by about four employees at the time," said police Chief of Department Steven Skrynecki. "He entered one room where the owner/CEO and an employee were. He opened fire immediately on those two individuals."
The slain worker was not identified. The company's owner remained in critical condition at Nassau University Medical Center, Skrynecki said.
Kim fled in a white 2008 Honda Pilot with New York plate number FMA3648, cops said.
"The motive here appears to be work related," Skrynecki said. "There's some disgruntlement between him and the company that he was attacking."
Police placed Garden City School District facilities and the mall on lockdown. The order was lifted a few hours later after cops determined Kim wasn't a threat to the general public.
"We have nothing to suggest that this individual is on a random shooting rampage," he added.
Burt Grant said he had a meeting scheduled at Savenergy to discuss a business deal.
"If the meeting was earlier, I would have been inside," he said.
While cops on Long Island continued the manhunt for Kim, the NYPD was outside his Fresh Meadows, Queens, apartment complex.
Kim, described as an Asian man standing about 6-foot-2, was last seen wearing a red shirt and brown suit jacket, cops said.
