Are some New Yorkers turning into mad dogs? Let's hope not, but according to the latest recorded facts and figures - Almost 100 people were shot in NYC this past week, which is about double the amount of people shot during the same time span last year. This according to NYPD statistics.
As of Sunday, there were 72 incidents in each of the five NYC Boroughs, up from 40 last year.
98 individuals were shot, up from 53 for the same period last year - an increase of about 46%.
These figures do not include the 15 people shot on Labor Day, including two police officers.

News breaks every day, not once a month and we know that readers like their news fresh, fast and accurate.
The first newspaper was Publick Occurrences. It was published in Boston back in 1690. Today, more than three centuries later, we have more than 1400 dailies in this country, with the two largest The Wall Street Journal and USA Today, which claim circulations exceeding two million each.
While we still keep strong the memory of those we lost on September 11th, some of us also don’t want to forget to stop to say THANK YOU to our first responders like you; not only for what you did on September 11th, but also for your continued commitment to protecting our safety in the face of constant danger.
In this spirit of thanks, please join me and your local veteran groups for a special event, my first annual:
