Mayor Zohran Mamdani remarked for the first time Friday on a pair of shootings at the hands of NYPD officers — nearly 12 hours after the dramatic incidents unfolded.
At around 11 p.m. Thursday, officers in Manhattan shot a motorist who police said turned on them with an imitation gun that appeared to be real. Hours earlier, at 5:30 p.m., NYPD officers killed an armed man inside a Brooklyn hospital, an incident that harkened back to one the mayor’s marquee campaign promises: to separate NYPD officers from mental health calls.
