Addressing the arrest of the suspect in the subway shooting in Brooklyn, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand issued the following statement:
“I am relieved that the suspect in the subway shooting has been arrested and I’m deeply grateful to our law enforcement officers and emergency personnel for their incredible response. I also want to thank all the New Yorkers who called in tips that led to this arrest. I continue to pray for the victims and their families and wish them a speedy recovery. We must do more to combat the epidemic of gun violence and I will be working hard with our state and local officials to get illegal guns off our streets.”
