Nearly four dozen people were injured in shootings over the weekend — as Gotham recorded its 12th consecutive week of surging gun violence, according to authorities.

One of the latest people to fall victim to gunplay was a 34-year-old who was shot in the chest in Brooklyn just after 10:30 p.m. Sunday and died shortly after at Brookdale Hospital, police said.

The man, whose name was not released, was shot near the NYCHA Howard Houses at 280 Stone Ave. in Brownsville, cops said.

That bloodshed was the first of six shootings over the next few hours across New York City...

Bane is in control of Gotham. All of this violence in the cities leading up to an election ... No wonder they want/need mail in voting so badly. Their base is in a war zone. COVID? No, how about getting shot while going to vote? That’s the real danger.

“...12th consecutive week of surging gun violence,...”


I don’t think it’s the guns that are being violent. It’s New Yorkers being violent and likely a subset of New Yorkers being violent. Was it called gun violence when the mob was taking out rivals in restaurants and barber shops?

Exactly.
And nobody is getting knifed or tossed off a roof or beaten to death in NYC anymore? Strictly being shot? I doubt it. Just more NYcommieMedia propaganda.

I thought it was near impossible to legally carry in New York. How are these shooters getting these guns if they are illegal? I guess gun control laws are worthless for keeping guns out of the criminals hands but useful in keeping guns out of a law abiding persons hands.

The NYPD disbanded the Anti-Crime unit on June 15th. That’s the major reason shootings have risen since then.

This is what happens when elected leaders support the criminals instead of the police.

No, its Democratoc government aka de Blowsthehole is rotten to the core. The people are clueless when it comes to marking a D or R on their ballot.

Look out Chicago. NYC is trying hard to make you the "second city" again.

It’s NOT ‘gun violence’ it’s ‘THUG VIOLENCE’...OR ‘CRIMINAL VIOLENCE’...

It’s only called ‘gun violence’ when the person behind the violence is a member of a democrat victim group. NO ONE used the term ‘gun violence’ when talking about Dylan Roof.

“This is what happens when elected leaders support the criminals instead of the police.”

This is what happens when elected leaders ARE the criminals.
