41 SHOT last night in Democrat-ruled NYC, at least 4 dead in citywide explosion of gun violence, NYPD Budget cut 1.5 billion
Forty one people were shot in NYC last night. FORTY ONE.
As I said when I voted NO on the budget: violent crime is skyrocketing in NYC. This isn’t the time to defund the NYPD.
Hold your elected officials accountable for their vote. Their virtue signaling has made you less safe. https://t.co/B9db2nBoik

DE BLASIO’S ‘NEW NORMAL’: NYC Gun Violence Skyrockets, 125 shootings, Worst in 25 years
41 shot overnight in NYC with at least 4 dead in citywide explosion of gun violence

New York Daily News | Jul 05, 2020:A 20-year-old man was fatally shot on a Brooklyn street early Sunday, cops said. The victim was blasted in the chest in front of a house on Atkins Ave. near Pitkin Ave. in East New York about 12:40 a.m., police said.
New York City turned into the Wild West as a series of shootings claiming four lives and injuring 37 others erupted amid Fourth of July celebrations.
The shocking wave of violence came as the city was reeling from ongoing protests, weeks of lockdown orders prompted by the coronavirus outbreak and soaring summer temperatures. Adding to the chaotic atmosphere, illegal fireworks exploded in all five boroughs throughout the night.
In the first fatal shooting of the night, Jose Cepeda, a young father, was blasted in the chest a little after midnight Sunday in East New York, Brooklyn.
Cepeda, 20, and a friend had a “little disagreement” in front of the victim’s home on Atkins Ave. near Pitkin Ave. that turned deadly, neighbor Natasha Ramsay told the Daily News.
“The first one shot got him dead,” Ramsay, 42, said. “It’s so sad.”
Medics rushed Cepeda to Brookdale University Hospital but he couldn’t be saved.
That was just the first in a series of horrifying incidents that cop unions blamed on Mayor de Blasio and Council Speaker Corey Johnson, who last week passed an annual budget that shifted about $1 billion away from the NYPD, a move aimed at meeting activists’ demands for police reform.

The man was shot in the chest and the woman was wounded in the right leg around 2:30 a.m. Both victims were taken to Brookdale University Hospital and were expected to survive, cops said.
In Harlem, a 26-year-old man was clinging to life after six people were wounded in a shootout that erupted at a party on 131St. and Lenox Ave. just before 1 a.m., police said.
Medics rushed four of the victims to Harlem Hospital, while two of the victims walked into the hospital later in the evening with gunshot wounds, according to authorities.
There are no arrests in any of the incidents and investigations are ongoing, police said.
The violence came as the city has been on edge following weeks of protests sparked by the May 25 death of Black Minneapolis man George Floyd at the hands of a white police officer.
