WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump says he has been briefed in the Midtown Manhattan shooting that took the lives of at least four people, including a New York City police officer.
"I trust our Law Enforcement Agencies to get to the bottom of why this crazed lunatic committed such a senseless act of violence," Trump said in a Truth Social Post. "My heart is with the families of the four people who were killed, including the NYPD Officer, who made the ultimate sacrifice. God Bless the New York Police Department, and God Bless New York!"

Police say they are investigating the alleged gunman's motives. The 27-year-old Nevada man is accused of fatally shooting at least four people before killing himself.
Trump currently resides in Palm Beach, Florida, and is presently on a trip to Scotland.
