Citywide Crime is Down but Shootings in Harlem Are Up – Central Harlem
(DNAINFO) Gustavo Solis — A local spike in gun-violence is bucking a city-wide trend of historic low crime numbers in the rest of the five boroughs, NYPD officials said Wednesday.
So far in 2015, overall crime numbers are the lowest they’ve been in more than 20 years. But there have been more shootings across the city than this time last year, particularly in Harlem and East Harlem, according to data from the NYPD.
