Statement from Governor Andrew Cuomo on the Shooting Near the Empire State Building
"Today's shooting near the Empire State
Building is a tragedy for New York City and our entire state. My
administration, including members of the State Police, is actively monitoring
the situation and working closely with city law enforcement agencies to ensure
that the safety of New Yorkers and those visiting New York City comes first. I
commend members of the New York Police Department, as well as the first
responders and civilians, who acted bravely and took swift action to save the
lives of others and prevent this tragedy from becoming much worse. Our state
has no tolerance for senseless acts of violence that harm our people, and we
will do everything possible to ensure that law enforcement officials have the
tools they need so residents of the city and tourists can enjoy everything New
York City has to offer without fearing for their own safety and security. On
behalf of all New Yorkers, I send my condolences to the friends and family of
the innocent victim who died in this attack, and wish those who were injured in
today's shooting a speedy recovery."
