BOROUGH PRESIDENT GIBSON`S RESPONSE TO TRAGIC SHOOTING IN MIDTOWN
"On behalf of our Borough, we extend our deepest condolences and prayers to the four victims of yesterday's horrific shooting in Midtown, including one of our own, decorated Police Officer Didarul Islam of the 47th Precinct.
In yet another horrific instance of incessant gun violence plaguing our city and our nation, four innocent lives have been tragically taken from us too soon.
We join in collective mourning during this time of immense pain and sorrow. May God grant peace, healing, and strength to the families, friends, and loved ones of the victims. Our hearts are with you."
