New York Gov. Kathy Hochul says she has ordered state police to "ramp up monitoring and increase support for communities that are potential targets of hate crimes" following recent threats to the Jewish and LGBTQ communities. 

The move announced Sunday came a day after a mass shooting at an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs left at least five people dead and dozens of others injured. 

"Here in New York, violence or bigotry will never be tolerated. We stand united against hate," Hochul tweeted. 

"Amid recent threats to Jewish and LGBTQ communities, I have directed New York State Police to ramp up monitoring & increase support for communities that are potential targets of hate crimes," she added.
