76 injured, 14 killed by gunfire this week as NYC shootings skyrocket |
2020-08-17 |
![]() Among the 76 hurt in the latest surge of gunplay, there were 14 murders — again more than the 10 for the same period in 2019, the sources said. The latest fatalities included a man who was rubbed out just after 2 a.m. at the entrance of Brooklyn’s Prospect Park, NYPD sources said. Photos showed a distraught woman comforting a man dressed all in white who appeared to have collapsed in grief as others soon gathered around a body being carried off in a stretcher. It continued a particularly bloody weekend that had already seen at least 11 people shot overnight from Friday until Saturday morning, with four fatalities — including 28-year-old city Correction Officer John Jeff who was bumped off at a party in Queens. |
