 Fahs describes how Feiden then " frantically called her local police precinct , Andy Warhol 's precinct , police headquarters in Lower Manhattan , and the offices of Mayor John Lindsay and Governor Nelson Rockefeller to report what happened and inform them that Solanas was on her way at that very moment to shoot Andy Warhol . " In some instances , the police responded that " You can 't arrest someone because you believe she is going to kill Andy Warhol , " and even asked Feiden " Listen lady , how would you know what a real gun looked like ? " In a 2009 interview with James Barron of The New York Times , Feiden said that she did know that Solanas intended to kill Warhol , but could not prevent it . ( A New York Times assistant Metro editor responded to an online comment regarding the story , saying that the Times " does not present the account as definitive . " )
