“NYPD Detective Steven McDonald famously forgave the teenage gunman who left him paralyzed from 30 years ago. In that time, he became a voice for peace and served as an inspiration for countless people. Detective McDonald was a true American hero and we should all aspire to live a life of service like him. I express my deepest condolences to Patti Ann, Conor, and all of Detective McDonald’s family members and friends.”
