The incident scared me so much that I dropped the gun and ran.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But at a news conference Monday, a few days after the passage was highlighted in an article by the publication Byline, Adams said the dramatic encounter did not happen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never fired a gun in school,\u201d he said. \u201cThe co-author of the book may have misunderstood&#8221; an incident \u201cwhere someone pointed what they thought was a toy gun,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Adams then said the book \u201cnever got into print because it never went through the proof-reading aspect of it.\u201d\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/nyc-mayor-eric-adams-says-015725562.html\">AP<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well,\u00a0 except it not only was published then, it is still available now\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Dont-Let-Happen-Eric-Adams\/dp\/1607919850\/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2T905V5SHJDLB&amp;keywords=eric+adams&amp;qid=1704855864&amp;sprefix=eric+adams%2Caps%2C965&amp;sr=8-2\">Amazon link\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/dont-let-it-happen-eric-l-adams\/1100997429?ean=9781607919858\">B&amp;N Adams book<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Maybe its sales were so poor any royalties were negligible &#8211; for 14 years?
