Mayor Eric Adams announced Thursday the nation’s first-ever DNA gun crime lab unit to tackle New York shooters.
“Call me Doctor Adams,” the mayor joked as he suited up in latex gloves and a gown in preparation to tour the state-of-the-art facility inside the Chief Medical Examiner’s office at 421 East 26th Street. The inquisitive mayor excitedly observed scientists at work on June 30 looming over test tubes and other equipment. Guided by Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Jason Graham, Adams was shown the full scope of the controlled workshop.
