There have been more shootings in New York City so far this year than took place in all of 2019.
The New York Post reported Sunday that there have been 777 shootings in the city so far this year, topping the 776 that occurred in 2019.
“It only gets worse from here,†Joseph Giacalone, a retired New York City Police Department sergeant, said. “As the shootings continue, so will retaliation. It’s a vicious cycle that the NYPD worked hard to mitigate, but that they are no longer able and in some cases willing to do.â€
This year’s shootings have left 942 victims either injured or dead across all five boroughs, including children.
