ALBANY — Four governors of Northeastern states are banding together to create a multistate database to share information about guns and law enforcement efforts.

During a conference call Thursday morning, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo announced the “States for Gun Safety” coalition. The announcement came roughly a week after a shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, left 17 dead and more than a dozen injured.
