One highlight - shootings and murders are down by double digits. However, youth violence remains a growing problem.
"Who's firing a gun in New York City multiple times? We know who they are and that's who we're focused on, a very small percentage of individuals are driving violence in New York City and each one of those individuals is under investigation by the New York City Police Department," said Michael Lipetri, NYPD Chief of Crime Prevention Strategies.
While shootings overall were down, there is another troubling trend - the number of children getting shot is surging. "It's been fueled by gang and crew disputes and a lot of that is fueled by social media. We see music videos sometimes fueling this violence, but we've also seen our gun arrests are at its highest level in 27 years," Lipetri said.
