BP MARKOWITZ STATEMENT ON SHOOTING OF NYPD OFFICERS IN 61ST PRECINCT

“Once again today we are reminded of the great risks our men and women in blue take to protect the lives of Brooklynites and New Yorkers each and every day. Fortunately, Captain Al Pizzano, Detective Kenneth Ayala, Detective Mike Keenan and Police Officer Matthew Granahan did not have to make the ultimate sacrifice like Officer Peter Figoski did in Brooklyn just a few short months ago. Our thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery are with these members of New York’s Finest, and on behalf of a grateful borough, I thank them for their valiant service.”
