'Cause if he's able to do it in a place where there's so much people like Times Square and not care, what's going to stop him from doing it again?' Addressing the Times Square shooting, NYC mayoral candidate Andrew Yang said public safety was 'paramount' and promised to establish a new 'anti-violence plain clothes unit to reduce guns and gun violence'. Shea said Magrinet and her family had traveled from Rhode Island to Manhattan to visit the Statue of Liberty, but finding the ferry closed decided to visit Times Square instead. 'The perpetrators of this senseless violence are being tracked down and the NYPD will bring them to justice,' he tweeted. De Blasio, who was celebrating his 60th birthday on Saturday, did not join the police commissioner for a press conference at the shooting scene.
