Kaz Daughtry, New York’s deputy commissioner of operations, told Newsmax on Tuesday that Democrat Mayor Eric Adams has directed him to find gun detection technology so the city can prevent the type of mass shooting that occurred Monday night.

The gunman, identified by authorities as Shane Tamura, 27, of Las Vegas, brazenly walked from his car on Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan openly carrying a rifle when he entered a skyscraper and killed four people, including a police officer, and critically injured another before killing himself.

“The mayor has tasked me — this morning we spoke about this — to find technology out there like gun detection technology, technology where we can use our existing cameras and integrate some gun detection technology, which I already have spoken to a couple of [companies about],” Daughtry told “Rob Schmitt Tonight.”
