NEWYORK: New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced that the City of New York is providing a wide range of support services for those impacted by the tragic mass shooting that took place at 345 Park Avenue in Midtown, Manhattan on Monday, July 28, 2025.
The Adams administration is reminding New Yorkers that if they are feeling overwhelmed, unsafe, in shock, or are supporting someone through the aftermath of this traumatic event, that they are not alone and that they should seek help. Mayor Adams highlighted a number of free, confidential resources available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including NYC 988.
“This week, we witnessed horrific violence right in the heart of our city, when a man brutally killed four innocent New Yorkers and injured another in one of the deadliest mass shootings in the last quarter of a century. NYPD Officer Didarul Islam, Wesley LePatner, Aland Etienne, and Julia Hyman should be with us today, but all four of their lives were cut short because a disturbed person was able to get his hands on an assault weapon and used it to destroy lives,” said Mayor Adams.
“Our city mourns with the victims’ families, their colleagues, and the entire community that is devastated by these events. During times like these, it is important to know that your city has your back and that you are not alone. We urge all New Yorkers struggling in the aftermath of these traumatic events to seek help and support, including by accessing the many mental health services available for them through the city. Making New York City a safer city has always been our administration’s North Star, and so we will continue to do everything possible to be vigilant and provide answers to the families of this senseless crime.”
