Bronx Shootings Rise While City Declines | New York City News

Despite recent violence in the Bronx, New York City is seeing record lows in shootings and shooting victims citywide—with August showing dramatic drops. A recent Sunday shootout near East 157th Street narrowly missed deli owner Mohammed Saleh as bullets flew through his shop, injuring two elderly men but leaving them expected to recover. While his precinct saw a spike in shootings last week, overall citywide numbers are plunging: shootings down nearly 10%, victims down nearly 12%, with August’s declines even steeper. Police credit aggressive gang crackdowns—over 20 arrests and 3,600 illegal guns seized—but remain silent on suspects in last week’s four separate incidents.
