Malliotakis Statement on Student Shot Outside Tottenville High School

(STATEN ISLAND, NY) - Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11) released the following statement regarding the shooting of a student outside Tottenville High School on Staten Island this afternoon.

"My office is in touch with the NYPD regarding the student shot outside of Tottenville High School on Staten Island this afternoon. It appears to have been an isolated incident and thankfully the student involved is in stable condition. We will comment further once we have more information, however, one thing is for sure: all types of crime have gotten out of control and it’s not just “perception.” Whether it’s people being stabbed, robbed, shoved in front of a train, or shot, our city has turned into the ‘Wild Wild West’ with one out of every 88 New Yorkers becoming a victim of a major felony crime."
