New York has marked its first weekend without a shooting in 25 years, police said Monday. "We went Friday, Saturday, Sunday without any shootings and homicides," New York Police Department chief James O'Neill told reporters.
The last time the most populous US city of 8.5 million had a weekend without shootings was in 1993, according to police. The number of murders is on the rise again this year, after hitting a low in 2017 with 292 total - a record since the 1950s.
