"There is no fear from people carrying guns," Adams said. "I've never seen anything like this in my life."
The news conference came after an NYPD officer was shot in the arm by a 25-year-old man in the Bronx on Tuesday. The officer was released from the hospital and is expected to make a full recovery, but city officials say the gunman never should have been on the streets. He had just been arrested in the subway with a weapon.
