More than 50 people were shot — at least seven of them fatally — during a bloody outbreak of gun violence in the Big Apple over the Fourth of July weekend.
The victims cut across a wide spectrum of New Yorkers — from a pair of former college rugby players wounded while sitting in a cab in Midtown to a beloved 62-year-old Bronx neighborhood “grandfather” who was gunned down by stray bullets.
In all, 51 people were shot in 36 separate incidents since Friday, a huge jump from the 32 people shot in 27 shootings over the holiday weekend last year, NYPD statistics show.
Twenty-one of this year’s holiday weekend victims were shot on Monday’s 246th birthday of American independence, including John Edwards, who was known in his Belmont neighborhood as the “Grandfather of the Block.” By comparison, there were 13 people shot on July 4, 2021.

ReplyDeleteWhat are the stat's? How many people died in Democrat states where presumable there's more gun control laws and how many in republican states?
ReplyDeleteUnless guns are banned for everyone except for police and military this gun violence will never end. No one knows what is going on in the minds of men to let them have weapons. Anyone can snap and go crazy thus never own a gun .
ReplyDeleteAustralia banned all guns 30 years ago and we haven't had a mass shooting since. You've had hundreds of mass shootings this year. Absolute insanity. Please tell me why anyone needs a gun let alone an automatic weapon. You love guns more than your children.
