New York City is reporting that shootings are up 77%, compared to the same time last year, following a similar trend of increased gun violence across the United States.
As of Tuesday, there were 573 shootings leaving 652 victims in the city, compared to 323 shootings with 366 victims this time last year, according to ABC News .
“A lot of the time you have individuals shooting at other individuals that are known,” New York Police Department Commissioner Dermot Shea told local station NY1. “But as the tide rises, you start to see more and more innocent people getting shot, too.”
New York is not alone in its rise in gun violence over the past year. Murders and shootings rose by 50% in Chicago in 2020. That same year, police recorded 3,261 shootings, up from 2019’s 2,140 recorded shootings, according to ABC7.
Overall, there have been 8,100 people killed by gun violence in 2021, with this year on track to match or exceed previous years’ gun-violence rates. In 2020, the U.S. recorded 19,000 killed by guns, a significant increase from the 15,000 in 2019, ABC also reports.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
