00:00The Brooklyn jogger who was stabbed and killed and the suspect was arrested over the weekend.
00:04It's been reported that he worked for the NYPD but was referred to psychological evaluation
00:11and then ended up being hired by the Department of Education. I'm wondering if you see that as
00:17a disconnect or a breakdown in city hiring practices and if so what are you going to do
00:22about it? So I have directed my team to conduct a full review into this matter. I think underlining
00:29the importance of the fact that nothing is more paramount than the safety of our students
00:33and we know that when it comes to this specific case New York City Public Schools has suspended
00:39the individual and is moving to terminate his employment pending the outcome of this case.
00:43We are also making counseling and support available to all the students and families at the school
00:48and just when we speak about this case at large this attack on Katie Suarez was horrific. This is
00:54something that leaves not only our hearts with her loved ones and her friends and her family who
01:00have been shattered by this but also to emphasize our commitment to hold the individual responsible
01:05fully accountable and our commitment to the fact that every New Yorker deserves to be safe in our
01:10city no matter at what time no matter what corner no matter what time of the night.
