Whereas the violent killing spree marks the deadliest gun at-
tack to take place in New York City in 25 years; 
Whereas the police officer slain in the attack, Didarul Islam, 
rushed towards the danger, determined to save the lives 
of his fellow New Yorkers no matter the cost; 
Whereas Didarul Islam, who paid the ultimate price in serv-
ice of his fellow citizens, was a loving husband and father 
who leaves behind a pregnant wife and 2 young children; 
Whereas Aland Etienne, an on-duty security officer, was also 
tragically murdered by the gunman during the attack in 
New York City; 
Whereas the continued calls for violence against Federal, 
State, and local law enforcement officers present an exi-
gent threat against those who honorably serve and pro-
tect the people of the United States; and 
Whereas acts of unconscionable violence have no place in the 
United States, and should be resoundingly condemned by 
leaders on both sides of the political aisle: Now, there-
fore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) condemns the senseless act of violence in 
New York City that tragically claimed the lives of 3 
civilians and NYPD police officer Didarul Islam; 
(2) honors the lives of the victims who were 
killed in the attack and expresses support and con-
dolences for the families and loved ones of the vic-
tims;
