Governor Kathy Hochul convened the first meeting of her Interstate Task Force on Illegal Guns Wednesday, bringing together leaders for a talk on dealing with spikes in gun-related crimes and finding ways to stop shootings and get illegal firearms off the streets.

Speaking at the New York State Intelligence Center in Greenbush Jan. 26, Hochul addressed the epidemic of gun violence and announced how New York State was in the process of introducing legislation in order to combat it. She also honored and mourned the losses of two NYPD officers, Wilbert Mora and Jason Rivera, who were fatally shot in Harlem on Jan. 21 while responding to a domestic call. The gun used in their killings was illegally purchased in Baltimore back in 2017.
