So for 12 days no one was killed in New York City and New
Yorkers are happy about it and reporting it. It's a modern day
record. Read the report from CNN below..
New York City's longest recorded homicide-free streak
ended late Friday night, when a 28-year-old man was shot
multiple times just before midnight.
Eric Roman was transported to a nearby hospital in critical
condition with gunshot wounds to his head, hand and leg and
died Saturday, according to the NYPD.
New York City had gone 12 days without a homicide, its
longest stretch on modern record, police said yesterday
Monday.
The last reported homicide was February 1, Super Bowl Sunday, in
Upper Manhattan, police said.
That day, police responded to a 911 call about multiple shots
being fired and found five individuals with gunshot wounds, the
NYPD said. One of those five, Graham Shadale, 28, was
pronounced dead at the scene.
Police have not yet made arrests in either case and both
investigations are ongoing, officials said.
The streak has been the longest since the New York Police
Department began recording statistics with a computerized
program called Compstat in 1994, a police representative said.
Police Commissioner Bill Bratton hushed talk of the streak Friday
on "CBS This Morning."
"Shh ... we don't want to jinx it," Bratton told host Charlie Rose.
"We're into our 12th day now, Charlie. Eleven is a record and let's
keep it going."
Despite the record-breaking streak, there has been an uptick in
shooting incidents compared with the same time period last year.
The week between February 1 and February 8 experienced 110
shooting incidents in 2015 versus 91 in 2014, according to
Detective Cheryl Crispin of the NYPD public information office.
New York City's last record for a streak of days without a homicide
was 10 days. In 2014, there were no recorded homicides between
February 13 and February 22.

What a record.

That's the essence of government protection. Citizens won't be killing themselves if they are getting one form of egunje from the government, and also military protection.

That cursed city
