preview

A New Jersey man was arrested for threatening to “shoot up” John F. Kennedy International Airport, according to the Queens District Attorney’s Office.According to the charges, on April 30 at approximately 8:30 a.m., the estranged wife of Darnell King, 39, was in Terminal 5 at JFK Airport after returning from an overseas flight when she received a text message and video from King, the DA’s Office said. He said he was going to meet her at the airport and that the recording was his “last will and testament.”In the video, with a firearm visible in the passenger seat, King allegedly said, “I’m going to wait for the plane to leave, and that is when I am going to start shooting the airport up. This is a day in history that you and everybody will always remember.”Approximately one hour later, the victim allegedly received another video and text message from King standing at his vehicle at the airport, in which he said, “I don’t know what makes you think that I was lying. I am here.”
        The DA’s Office said the Port Authority Police Department responded to Terminal 5, and the defendant was apprehended by PAPD and NYPD officers at approximately 11:50 a.m. at the nearby Resorts World Casino in South Ozone Park.According to the charges, following the execution of a search warrant on King’s vehicle, officers removed a Taurus 9 mm handgun with one round in the chamber and a magazine that contained eight rounds, a Taurus .40-caliber handgun with one round in the chamber and a magazine with three bullets, an additional two bullets from a cup holder and an air pistol loaded with multiple pellets.King was arraigned May 2 on four counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, making a terroristic threat, two counts of criminal possession of a firearm, two counts of criminal possession of a firearm, rifle or shotgun in a sensitive location, menacing in the second degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree and unlawful possession of pistol ammunition.King is being held and was ordered to return to court on May 28. He faces up to 15 years if convicted.
