Attorney General Merrick Garland offered condolences to the NYPD's commissioner Friday night and told her the department and FBI was ready to assist, according to a tweet. The FBI was already in touch with their counterparts at the NYPD, he added.
New York Attorney General Letitia James released a statement in response to the shooting. "All of New York state is in mourning tonight. As we await the facts, my office may assert jurisdiction in this matter. We pray for the safety of our police and our communities."
