Mayor Eric Adams expressed his regret on Friday night, saying in part:
“It is our city against the assassins. It is our city against the assassins. This just wasn’t an attack on three brave officers. This was an attack on New York City. It is an attack on the children and families of this city. And we are not going to win this battle by dividing lines between us. We must save this city together. That is what we must do.”
McNeil had four prior arrests outside of New York City on various charges including assault on a police officer and weapons possession.
