New York governor Andrew Cuomo was already for strict gun laws and after this incident expect him to come out swinging even harder.
A top lawyer in his administration was shot Monday morning and was rushed to the hospital in critical condition as reported by CNN.His name is Carey Gabay, and he is a 43-year old lawyer who was appointed as First Deputy Counsel for Empire State Development in January. Gabay was injured by what Cuomo said was a “seemingly random bullet” that struck him in the head.
Cuomo continued to say Gabay was hit by a stray bullet after someone fired eight to ten bullets nearby at pre-Indian Day Parade festivities in Brooklyn, New York.

He was rushed to Kings County Hospital Center where he remains in critical condition.
Cuomo said:
Carey is an outstanding public servant who joined our administration in 2011. He is a Harvard educated lawyer who works for the State because he wants to give back to others and make a difference.
He also said:
I don’t know what it’s going to take this nation to come to its senses with gun violence. It’s the same story almost weekly. Tragedy after tragedy after tragedy.
This tragic shooting . . . is the latest heartbreaking reminder that the crime of gun violence must stop. Enough young, innocent people have died, and it must stop now.
