Addressing the fatal stabbing of a woman in Chinatown, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand issued the following statement:
“Once again, the Asian American community has been devastated by an act of senseless violence. I share in their grief and I’m praying for the victim’s family, friends and loved ones. Decisive action is needed to prevent these attacks—all levels of government must work together to deliver resources to reduce homelessness, bolster mental health services and protect vulnerable New Yorkers.”
