Shootings Decline Across US Cities, Including 25% Drop in NYC

Shootings in New York City have dropped by about 25% in the first half of this year compared to the same period last year.
Other major felonies, such as murders, rapes, and burglaries, have also decreased by about 10% each in NYC.
However, car thefts have increased by 18% and felony assaults by 6% in NYC.
The decrease in gun violence is attributed to the efforts of social service organizations and the focus on fighting gun violence by the police department.
This decrease in shootings is part of a nationwide trend after a post-pandemic spike in violent crime.
