NYC Mayor to 'zero in on' gun dealers

The roundtable discussion took place a day after a New York City police officer was killed while responding to a domestic violence call. Another office was fighting for his life, authorities said.

Neither of the officers have been identified by police. Authorities said that the policeman who died was a 22-year-old rookie officer.

A spike in violent crime during the pandemic is an early challenge for Adams, who took over the helm of the city on Jan. 1. Adams was elected after putting public safety at the center of his campaign, promising to usher in policies to quickly quell the violence.
