According to information provided by Platkin’s office, the family first called for emergency medical services for help with Washington, 52, who was refusing to open the door to his apartment and appeared to be in the middle of a mental health crisis. Responders then requested help from the Jersey City Police Department who were unable to get Washington to comply and open the door to his apartment.
Gigante, along with other officers at the scene, seemed to know Washington and referred to a prior incident when they were able to get him to comply with them. After some back and forth and periods of silence, Gigante breaks down the door, 32 minutes into the standoff.
