Authorities say 25 people have been shot in a 48-hour period over the weekend in New York City.
The Daily News says that includes three fatalities on Sunday, and another three on Saturday.
The two days of bloodshed represents 5 percent of this year’s roughly 440 shootings.
That total is still a 23 percent decline from the total of 574 shot through this time last year.

A 23 percent decline from the total of 574 shot through this time last year! Nanny Bloomberg’s anti-gun crusade is really taking root!
How many were shot by law abiding citizens, other than those acting in self-defense, as opposed to how many were shot by criminals (who being criminals, are indifferent to gun control laws)? Another figure that would be interesting, how many of the victims were law abiding citizens who were armed at the time they were shot?
