NYPD officers shot in Harlem: One officer killed, another wounded in a shooting when responding to domestic incident

CNN  

CNN — One New York police officer is dead and another is in critical condition after a suspect in a domestic disturbance opened fire Friday evening inside a Harlem apartment, authorities said. Police identified the slain officer as Jason Rivera, and the New York Police Department said on Twitter it was mourning “the loss of a hero officer – a son, husband, and friend.” “Only 22 years old, Police Officer Jason Rivera was murdered in the line of duty,” the NYPD said. “How are we removing thousands of guns off the street and they still find a way into New York City in the hands of people who are killers?” Adams called for assistance from the federal government to help address the problem, saying Friday, “We need Washington to join us and act now to stop the flow of guns in New York City and cities like New York.” The mayor reiterated those comments Saturday, adding his administration would begin introducing initiatives next week to “zero in on those small number of people who are creating a large number of shootings.” In the meantime, Adams said officers will continue their efforts “on the ground.” The mayor is imploring residents, “Don’t surrender to violence. “It has to stop,” the New York FBI office said via Twitter on Saturday, referring to the shootings of police officers.
