Not one person was shot in New York City this weekend, the first time that’s happened since 1993.
Officials said Monday there were no shootings with victims reported in the five boroughs for all of Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The last shooting before the weekend was on Thursday morning in Brooklyn when a 25-year-old man was shot in the stomach.
The gunfire free record was broken Monday afternoon when a man was shot in the Bronx. He is expected to survive.
Mayor Bill de Blasio boasted about the record while addressing the NYPD graduating class Monday morning, saying they were a “winning team for sure.”

Just a major assault on 13th Avenue @7.30AM Sunday morning, but since no gun, never mind the bludgeoned 62 year old gentleman.
@147
yes that wasnt the point of the article 🙂
And then there are the politicians who are trying to drum up support that “Crime is exploding” in our cities. But only if you live in Chicago or Detroit. Guess New York City doesn’t count.
And of course since there was an aggravated assault – no gun involved – we still have a _gun_ crime wave. Assault is a serious crime, but it’s not gun related.
People should read the article and think a little before commenting.
