NYC notches 5-day period of no shooting victims for 1st time in 30 years: NYPD

The Big Apple went five days without a single shooting victim in a milestone that hasn’t been reached in 30 years, the NYPD announced Thursday night.

“This is the longest we’ve gone without a shooting victim since the beginning of the CompStat era,” the department said in reference to the police management system it created in the 1990s.

Cops credited the “brave work that the members of the NYPD do every day” for the five-day period, which lasted from Saturday evening to Thursday evening.

But just four minutes after the department boasted about the streak, it was snapped when a 34-year-old man was shot multiple times in the leg in Brooklyn’s East New York neighborhood at around 10:15 p.m.

The gunshot victim went to Brookdale Hospital in stable condition and no arrests have been made, according to police.

The NYPD had recorded 45 shooting victims so far this year as of Sunday — the same number of shooting victims in the city over the same time period last year.

There have been 29 shootings in 2025 as of last Sunday compared to 39 over the same time span in 2024.

In authorities’ push to slow down gun violence in the city, Mayor Eric Adams announced this week that the NYPD has seized more than 20,000 illegal firearms since he took office in 2022.

That figure is about 3,000 more guns removed compared to the previous three-year period, according to officials.
