NYC sees bloodiest week this year with 46 separate shooting incidents

New York City endured its bloodiest week so far this year, as gun violence continues to soar ahead of what could be another violent summer.

NYPD data shows 50 people were shot in 46 separate incidents over a seven-day period ending Sunday evening — a more than 300 percent surge from the same week in 2020. Last year, the city logged 11 shootings with 12 victims during the final full week of the month, April 20-26 — more than a month into the city’s COVID-19 lockdown, according to the data.
