Shootings dip in June but have yet to return to pre-pandemic levels

The Big Apple saw a nearly 20 percent dip in gun violence in June, according to new statistics released Tuesday — though top cop Dermot Shea believes there’s still “so much more work to do.”

Last month, the NYPD logged 165 shootings, a drop from 205 acts of gunplay during the same month last year when amid an unprecedented spike in shootings citywide. “We started to reverse the trend that we’ve been seeing since last May of increased gun violence,” Police Commissioner Shea said during a press conference with Mayor Bill de Blasio, while conceding that “we know we have so much more work to do.”
