According to the New York Post, the number of shootings was an increase of 26 from the same week in 2019. And the number of murders was 10 more year-over-year.

Seventy-six people were wounded.

Among the incidents was a shooting at Grand Central Station Saturday morning that left one person wounded and a man who was shot to death while sitting in a car in the Bronx Saturday night, the New York Daily News reported.

The New York City Police also released video footage showing a gunman who fired 10 rounds into an apartment from a Bronx street Saturday night. No one was injured in the shooting, according to the Daily News.

Early Saturday morning, meanwhile, a 28-year-old corrections officer was shot to death at a party in Queens.
