Statement from Governor Andrew Cuomo
"Earlier today, a Department of Corrections
and Community Supervision Correction Officer was severely injured and
received serious burns to his body upon opening a suspicious package at
his home in Oneida County. The State of New York has no tolerance for
any violence of this sort, and I have ordered a full investigation to
find those responsible for this horrific incident. The New York State
Police and New York State Department of Corrections and Community
Supervision are assisting the Oneida County Sheriff's Office and federal
law enforcement agencies.
"On behalf of all New Yorkers, our thoughts
and prayers are with this Correction Officer and his family during this
difficult time, and we join them in hoping for a full and speedy
recovery."
