Even after the murder of two officers in Harlem, not everyone’s fully on board with Mayor Eric Adams’ comprehensive plan to combat gun violence across the city.
On Jan. 25, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams hosted a discussion outside of 151 West 145th St. with members of community groups working to prevent gun crime in the hardest hit neighborhoods. Williams began with a sobering reminder of just how grave the situation has become this year alone.
He stated that in addition to the two officers the city is mourning, on Jan. 21st, a one-year-old baby celebrated her first birthday undergoing brain surgery after being caught in the crossfire of a shooting days earlier in the Bronx.
