Mike Bloomberg-affiliated Everytown for Gun Safety ranks New York as the No. 2 state in the Union for gun control laws, describing the state as an “innovator” on gun control.
The gun controls include universal background checks, an “assault weapons” ban, a red flag law, and a “high-capacity” magazine ban, among other things.
UPDATE: The Associated Press reported that the two officers–a Syracuse police officer and a sheriff’s deputy–died after being transported to the hospital. Moreover, the suspect with whom they exchanged gunfire died as well.
The AP pointed out that the incident began with law enforcement “tracking a vehicle that had eluded police earlier,” then the driver of the vehicle opened fire on police once inside his residence.
