There have been 112 victims in 83 shootings over a nine-day period ending Saturday, according to police. Most of those shot were expected to survive, but at least six people have died in the past week and others suffered serious or critical injuries.
Amid calls to defund the police ahead of the June 30 deadline for the city budget, NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea said last week that the city’s homicide rate had hit a 5-year high and that the criminal justice system was “imploding.” The number of people shot has risen 42 percent compared to last year.
The NYPD on Sunday released this info detailing the nine-day stretch of shootings.
Friday, 6/19 – 8 shooting incidents with 9 victims.
Saturday, 6/20 -18 shooting incidents with 24 victims.
Sunday, 6/21 – 2 shooting incidents with 5 victims.
Monday, 6/22 – 11 shooting incidents with 17 victims.
Tuesday, 6/23 – 10 shooting incidents with 10 victims.
Wednesday, 6/24 – 3 shooting incidents with 5 victims.
Thursday, 6/25 – 5 shooting incidents with 8 victims.
Friday, 06/26 – 9 incidents with 10 victims.
Saturday, 06/27 – 17 incidents with 24 victims.

Thanks Governor Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio.
Thanks for your courtesy corruption. Defund police! Bail reform! Etc.
How many of these people were released recently from jail or from being arrested?
to hershh and yaapchick. I know you didn’t say it and I know you didn’t mean it, but you realize your comments are racist. Don’t you know BLM stands for defunding and abolishing police. How can you be against Bail reform ??? You must be racist. Only a white supremacist would want to fund a police state and to keep underprivileged minorities locked up. You must be from the privileged elite.
Defund the police! Use the savings to give out free guns to every New Yorker. That way everyone is equal.
and this is what happens when you have untamed animals without police.
Time for de Blasio to be impeached & defrocked, and forcibly removed from office, for breach of his oath to his office among many other violations, too numerous to even commence delineating.
