Suspect in Brooklyn subway shooting facing federal terrorism charges
Former NYPD detective Dr. Oscar Odom joined 'Fox & Friends First' to discuss the suspect in the Brooklyn subway shooting incident.
Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams called out Black Lives Matter after a series of shootings that left Black victims dead on Wednesday.
Adams spoke following a string of shootings in the Bronx and Brooklyn that left three people dead and 13 others injured, in a NY1 interview.
"Where are all those who stated ‘Black Lives Matter?’" Adams asked. "Do an analysis of who was killed or shot last night. I was up all night speaking to my commanders in the Bronx, in Brooklyn. The victims were Black."
"The lives of these Black children that are dying every night matter. We can’t be hypocrites," he added.

Police recorded six shootings over the space of six hours late Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning, killing a 23-year-old woman and two men aged 21 and 22, according to the New York Post.
Adams' statement comes days after a mass shooting at a Brooklyn subway station left nearly 30 people injured, though there have been no reported fatalities.
