Less than 24 hours after a teen killed 21 people in a Texas school shooting, Mayor Eric Adams joined Department of Education Chancellor David Banks Wednesday to reveal how the city and NYPD are working to keep the city’s schools safe.

Three handguns, seized at schools in recent operations, were shown to press at police headquarters on May 25 alongside the rucksacks which concealed them. For many, this will come as horrifying news after 19 children lost their lives during a tragic school shooting one day prior.
