New York City has broken a 30-year record for the fewest number of shootings in the first two months of the year, police revealed Monday.

The city saw 93 incidents of gun violence between January and February, the fewest for those months since 1993, officials said.

Newly released NYPD statistics for February not only showed that dramatic drop in shootings, but also a 14.5% decline in overall serious crimes compared to the same month last year.

“In the first two months of 2025, New York City experienced the fewest number of shooting incidents in the past 30 years, and the third consecutive month of double-digit declines in nearly every major crime category prove that our comprehensive crime fighting strategies are working,” said NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said in a statement.

All seven major felonies except rape dropped in February, led by murder and robbery falling 32% and 25% respectively, according to the stats.

This article speaks about reduction in gun violence, but not on crimes in general. Maybe a lot of the illegal alien violent criminals are resorting to less violence in order to keep under the radar with the recent increased possibility of getting deported.

Gee image that. Deport large number of illegal gang bangers for the 1st time ever in Jan 2025 and suddenly shootings drop in NYC to a 30 year low.

Back in the 1980s some Mafia guy warned that the SA and Caribbean gangs taking over large swaths of the US drug trade were going to be a disaster for the USA. The Mafia, he said, was tough but knew how to stay within certain lines. The Caribbean and South American gangs were hyper violent and acknowledged no boundaries

‘ NYPD data” ← trust this at your own peril.’

Which? The high numbers or the low numbers?

The new group of replacement criminals doesn't shoot them as much as those they're replacing.

Now they stab them, light them on fire, and push them on the subway tracks - but yeah, let's tell people that crime is down.

Shootings are predominantly crimes committed by black perpetrators. Stabbings, lighting on fire, and pushing on the subway tracks are an illegal alien thing. Welcome the Replacement Americans.

Record cold winter, self-deporting illegals, and illegals watching their Ps and Qs because they know if they get caught, they’ll be deported. Also, NYC has a marginally pro-Trump Mayor.

I was a data analyst for a long time.....you can make the data say whatever you want.....and it ain’t that hard either.

Chances are they aren’t counting something.

Sounds like a theme from early “Law & Order” episode.

Clearly, when crime drops it’s what I call the Trump Effect.

Exactly.
