“Today is a terrible and tragic day for our City. I am appalled and saddened at the murder of Sgt Paul Tuozzolo and the wounding of Sgt Emmanuel Kwo in the Bronx. Every day, the courageous men and women of the NYPD risk their lives to keep New Yorkers safe and this deadly shooting is a stark reminder that gun violence remains prevalent in our City. All New Yorkers should be outraged by the senseless violence that continues to needlessly take the lives of law enforcement officers and innocent bystanders in our city and across the country.  Our thoughts and prayers are with the NYPD, with the family of Sgt. Tuozzolo and we wish a speedy recovery to Sgt Kwo.”
