NEW YORK – Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman released the following statement today on the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks:

Today I join all New Yorkers as we grieve the lives lost in the tragic attacks on September 11th, 2001. So many in our state have been deeply impacted by these unspeakable acts and mourn the loss of their mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, friends, and neighbors. We honor the memory of our first responders for their courageous efforts. I extend my deepest sympathies to the families and loved ones for whom today is not only the anniversary of a national tragedy, but also the anniversary of a deeply personal loss. Our thoughts are with all of you today.”
