HELL’S KITCHEN — A disgruntled former Intrepid Museum employee made a YouTube video in which he said that all of the museum’s security staff "should be shot," the NYPD said.
The unidentified employee was fired from the museum on Pier 86, at West 46th Street and 12th Avenue, more than a year ago, police said.
A YouTube video he created shows him making the threat against all of the museum's security workers, the NYPD said.
A museum employee reported the video to police on Nov. 16.
No one had been arrested in connection with the incident as of Monday, and a spokesman for the Intrepid Museum declined to comment on the matter Tuesday.
