NEW YORK (AP) — Gov. Kathy Hochul says a shooting in a Harlem apartment that killed a New York City police officer and left another critically wounded is a call to action to get illegal guns off the streets. Officials say the man who shot them with a stolen gun Friday night was also in critical condition. He was wounded by a third officer who fired at him as he tried to flee. Twenty-two-year-old Officer Jason Rivera was killed and 27-year-old Officer Wilbert Mora was wounded. Forty-seven-year-old suspect Lashawn J. McNeil is accused of shooting them as he tried to flee. Authorities say the officers were answering a call about an argument between a woman and McNeil, her son.
