I thought about that today when the notification came over from the police commissioner that we had a number of shots fired and we're still unraveling what took place. No hearts are heavy. Five innocent people shot tonight. We lost four souls to another senseless act of gun violence, including a member of the New York City Police Department, Officer Islam. He served in the 47th Precinct. He was just 36 years old and a three and a half year veteran of the department. (01:21–01:39)
