U.S. Rep Gregory W. Meeks Statement on Slain NYPD Officer Randolph Holder
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Gregory Meeks released the following statement mourning the tragic death of NYPD Police Officer Randolph Holder:
“I wish to express my deep condolences to the family and friends of NYPD Officer Randolph Holder, whose life was tragically taken in the line of duty yesterday. Officer Holder was a third generation police officer with roots and family in the 5th Congressional District. He carried the legacy of bravery for his family and the city with honor and dignity. Officer Holder was a true patriot, fighting tirelessly everyday to protect our communities from the very heinous and cowardly violence that claimed his life.
“This tragedy is yet another example of the senseless gun violence that has claimed hundreds of thousands of innocent lives in our country. I reiterate my call for sensible gun reform that will go a long way to prevent gun violence. I join my city, the NYPD community, and those around the nation in mourning the loss of one of our Finest today.”
