From Monday through Sunday, there has been a total of 51 shooting incidents, according to an NYPD spokesperson. And from midnight through about noon Sunday, there have been 18 shooting incidents, with 24 victims.
At least three shootings were reported overnight across Brooklyn and the Bronx.
Police tell News 12 that a 22-year-old man was shot in Morris Heights at around 9:30 p.m. Saturday after getting into a fight with another man.
The incident happened on Jerome and West Burnside avenues. The victim was treated at St. Barnabas Hospital and is expected to recover.
Police tell News 12 that three other people were shot in Brownsville and one in Clinton Hill Saturday night.
