Albany Police Chief Eric Hawkins issued a statement after an 18-year-old man was killed Thursday and two more men were gunned down early Sunday morning. WNYT reports the statement reads, in part, “I am deeply troubled by recent incidents in our community that have tragically claimed the lives of three young men,” Hawkins said. “Resorting to gun violence to resolve disputes or conflicts is never the answer and has traumatic impacts on lives, families, and our community as a whole.”
All of the shootings remain under investigation.
