After Two NYPD Officers Shot, NYC Mayor Adams Demands Federal Government ‘Help Stop The Flow Of Guns’
New York City Mayor Eric Adams called on the federal government to help “stop the flow of guns” after two NYPD officers were shot, one fatally, in Harlem Friday night.
Adams made the remarks in a press conference Friday night outside Harlem Hospital, where one of the two officers was being treated for gunshot wounds.
Adams, who is a former NYPD officer himself, told reporters that under normal circumstances, only police officials would be standing at the podium giving remarks. “I did not want that tonight,” Adams said. “I wanted everyone to be in the same room. I wanted everyone to be here to understand: It is our city against the killers.”
“It is our city against the killers. This was just not an attack on three brave officers, this was an attack on the city of New York. It is an attack on the children and families of this city, and we are not going to win this battle by dividing lines between us. We must save this city together.”- READ MORE
