There was reaction in the Hudson Valley to the mass shooting that killed 11 Oct. 27 at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh. "The New York family grieves for those who were killed and prays for those who were injured in this heinous and horrific mass shooting," Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a statement. "I have directed State Police to increase patrols around Jewish centers and houses of worship across the state. We, as a nation, must stand together and stand against the corrosive and destructive forces of hate in all of its forms." Cuomo's opponent in the November election, Republican Marc Molinaro also released a statement with a similar sentiment, that also said, "In the coming days the arguments will come forth about balancing our constitutional rights of freedom of speech, religion and to bear arms. But there is no right to hate, there is no right to violence." There were also memorial services in Kingston and Albany Oct. 28, and Temple Israel in Catskill held a prayer vigil. And there was another threat incident nearby Oct. 28, after a week that also included African-Americans killed by a shooter in Kentucky, and opponents of the president being targeted with assassination through letter bombs. A bomb threat was called in to WNYT-TV, the NBC affiliate, in Albany Oct. 28. "The building was evacuated for a short time this morning," said Steve Baboulis, Vice President and General Manager of the station. "They made a general blanket statement about with everything happening in the media and then a general threat of blowing something up." Albany County Sheriff's deputies with a K-9 unit did not find any explosives at the station. Last week, on Oct. 21, swastikas and other tags were painted on buildings and vehicles in Kingston.
