Mayor Eric Adams emphasized, "I wanted to look him in the eye and say you carried out this terroristic act in my city, the city that the people of New York love." He described his actions as a symbolic statement against the trauma inflicted on the entire industry by this shooting. He believed it was important to illustrate leadership and set a tone of accountability when faced with such acts of violence.
Reflecting on the trauma caused by the shooting, Adams said, "I was at a conference a few days ago with the top CEOs – IBM, Deloitte – it was a room full of CEOs and government officials; and the shooting, the intentional shooting, really traumatized the entire industry and not only the CEOs, but the employees." This illustrates the broader impact of such violence on both leadership and workforce.
