A spike in shootings in New York City just weeks into the new year – including last week's Harlem ambush that killed two police officers – hasn't swayed Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul from standing by her call for bail reform.

Gov. Kathy Hochul convened a first-in-the-nation Interstate Task Force on Illegal Guns Wednesday, bringing together representatives from nine states to drill down on New York’s recent rise in gun violence. The task force will include law enforcement leaders from New York, Rhodie Island, Vermont, Ohio, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire.

New York’s Republican Party on Thursday urged voters to remember Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul’s support for the state’s controversial bail reform law come November, as the legislation is under added scrutiny following the deaths of two officers shot in the line of duty in New York City.
