Two men were killed and 19 were wounded in New York City shooting incidents on Saturday and Sunday, signaling that an uptick in shootings this year hasn’t abated.
The gun violence began in the Bronx at 2:03 a.m. Saturday when police responded to a call and found three people shot—a man in the chest, a man in the back and woman in the leg, police said.
It ended in Queens at 6 a.m. Sunday, when a man was critically wounded and three others injured less seriously in the Jamaica neighborhood, police said.
In all, there were 11 shooting incidents in four boroughs in less than 28 hours; in 2013, the city experienced fewer than three shootings a day, according to police statistics.
