Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) offered his condolences on Wednesday to the family of a slain New York City Police Department officer, after the officer was shot and killed while on duty.

“Woke to the terrible news that Officer Miosotis Familia was shot & killed in the Bronx overnight. God bless her family & the NYPD,” Schumer wrote on Twitter.
