The city of nearly 9 million people went Friday, Saturday and Sunday without any reported gunfire. The last time that happened was in 1993.
"You know, when you think about the history we came from and the challenges that had to be overcome by this NYPD, it's absolutely extraordinary," de Blasio said at an NYPD graduation ceremony on Monday, according to WPIX-TV. "But I want to emphasize, a city of 8.6 million people -- not a single shooting for three days."
The last shooting prior to the recent streak occurred Thursday morning in Brooklyn, when a 25-year-old man was blasted in the stomach near East 98th Street and Avenue J at around 11:30 a.m., according to officials.
Unfortunately, the city’s safety streak was snapped by Monday afternoon, when a man was shot at around 1:15 p.m. on Aqueduct Avenue in The Bronx, authorities said.
