I asked the NYPD:

... Can you provide any more info about the context of the incident? What were the circumstances regarding the removal of the gun?...

According to a NYPD spokesperson: 

On Thursday, March 9, 2023 at approximately 1530 hours, police responded to a 911 call of a disorderly male in front of 559 Mains street, in the confines of the 114 Precinct. Upon arrival of police, a Roosevelt Island Public Safety Officer stated that a disorderly male was causing a disturbance on public sidewalk. When peace officers attempted to issue a summons for disorderly conduct, he attempted to flee and was apprehended outside of location. The suspect was brought back to their base. Once placed in custody, the suspect was found to be in possession of a revolver.

Charges:

Criminal Possession of a Weapon- Loaded Firearm

Obstructing Governmental Administration

Disorderly Conduct

The individual arrested was an 18 year old male from Brooklyn.

559 Main Street is the address for the Smoke Shop. Eviction proceedings against the Smoke Shop are currently underway by the landlord, Hudson Related.

Also, I asked Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC) President Shelton Haynes, Public Safety Department Chief Kevin Brown and Assistant Vice President of Communications Akeem Jamal: 

... What were the circumstances regarding the gun removal.

Will RIOC provide any more info to the Roosevelt Island community about this incident?

There's been no response from RIOC.
