New Yorkers don’t need statistics to know what’s happening on our streets. They see it. They hear it. They feel it.
A 69-year-old woman shot and killed in broad daylight while walking down the street. A mass shooting at a nightclub leaving three dead and nine injured. Teenagers playing basketball but end up ducking gunfire. In the last several weeks, we’ve seen a spate of shootings across Harlem, Brooklyn and the Bronx that once again reminded us of the human cost of gun violence. Lives stolen, families shattered, entire neighborhoods shaken.
