Submitted by the Office of Gov. Kathy Hochul
Gov. Kathy Hochul today directed that flags on all state government buildings be flown at half-staff in honor of NYPD officer Didarul Islam and the victims of the July 28 shooting at an office building in Midtown Manhattan. Flags were lowered to half-staff at sunrise today and will remain lowered until all of the victims are laid to rest.
“The violence we witnessed at the hands of this individual is sickening, unacceptable, and it must stop here,” Hochul said. “An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us, and we must confront this violence head on. My heart is with our neighbors in Manhattan, the victims and their families – as well as the brave men and women of the NYPD.”
