Addressing the fatal stabbing of a woman in Chinatown, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand issued the following statement:
"Once again, the Asian American community has been devastated by an act of senseless violence. I share in their grief and I'm praying for the victim's family, friends and loved ones. Decisive action is needed to prevent these attacks--all levels of government must work together to deliver resources to reduce homelessness, bolster mental health services and protect vulnerable New Yorkers."
