Three men were killed in a gang-related mass shooting in Brooklyn early Sunday. Gunfire erupted outside Taste of the City Lounge during a dispute.
We really see gangs driving so much of the violence in New York City and a lot of our work in bringing the shooting numbers down so far this year has been because of our relentless focus on guns and gangs.
We're always concerned after a shooting. Retaliatory shootings will follow if we don't get on the ground with our crisis management team and other partners.
NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch noted that roughly 60 percent of all shootings are gang-related, highlighting a critical need for community-driven prevention strategies.
