NEW YORK (AP) — An aide to Gov. Andrew Cuomo was hospitalized in critical condition Tuesday, a day after being caught in the crossfire between two gangs in Brooklyn.
Carey Gabay, a first deputy general counsel at the Empire State Development Corp., was shot in the head during a pre-dawn party celebrating the West Indian Day parade. He was taken to Kings County Hospital.
Cuomo called the 43-year-old Harvard-educated lawyer "an outstanding public servant" who joined his administration in 2011.
Gabay was walking with his brother near the parade route at 3:40 a.m. Monday when he was caught in the crossfire.
"He's not doing well," Cuomo said Tuesday during a visit to Puerto Rico to discuss ways New York could help the U.S. territory's economic crisis.
