Police Commissioner Dermot Shea joined the DA in announcing the arrests. “Each gun removed from the streets of Queens represents a tragedy that has been averted.” “Combating this dangerous rise in gun violence, means cutting off the supply of illegal guns coming into our neighborhoods,” she added. “With the recent increase in shootings, I am more determined than ever to stop gun violence,” DA Katz said.
