New York City’s latest bloody week of gunfire saw 76 people injured, including 14 murdered — with almost two-and-a-half times more shootings than the same week last year, according to police sources.
As of 7 a.m., the previous week saw 62 separate shootings — a dramatic rise over the 26 during the same week last year, sources said.
Among the 76 hurt in the latest surge of gunplay, there were 14 murders — again more than the 10 for the same period in 2019, the sources said.
The latest fatalities included a man who was shot dead just after 2 a.m. at the entrance of Brooklyn’s Prospect Park, NYPD sources said.
Photos showed a distraught woman comforting a man dressed all in white who appeared to have collapsed in grief as others soon gathered around a body being carried off in a stretcher.
It continued a particularly bloody weekend that had already seen at least 11 people shot overnight from Friday until Saturday morning, with four fatalities — including 28-year-old city Correction Officer John Jeff who was gunned down at a party in Queens.
The alarming surge by the beginning of this month already saw more shootings this year than the whole of 2019 — with five months to go.
As officials squabble over the cause, scared New Yorkers have even started buying bulletproof vests in record numbers.

3 years agoThose who consider themselves African- Americans should consider that their very existence is due to the luck their ancestors had to be on a boat to America where although worked hard were allowed by the benevolence of the white man to eventually rise to wealth and the highest positions in our land . The alternative would be that their ancestors would have been sold to the moslem/ arab slave traders who would castrate and work them to death. How ungrateful our dark skinned citizens are when they should be thanking god that they are in America..
The moslems have duped the black community to become their soldiers and tear down our monuments and statues as demanded by the koran.
If you vote for a democrat you are voting to put America under islamic sharia slavery!!3 years agoTrying to compete with Chicago and Baltimore.
