NYPD boss Dermot Shea a no-show as Mayor de Blasio hammered over shooting surge
Fox News
Police Commissioner Dermot Shea was once again a no-show at a press conference held by Mayor Bill de Blasio and focused on crimefighting where reporters peppered Hizzoner with questions over his administration’s handling of the Big Apple’s deadly shooting surge.
There have been more than 400 shootings in New York City since Shea last took questions in March, records show — and the pace shows no signs of abating. That includes 150 shootings between May 3 and May 30, the most recent four-week period for which comparable figures are available. It’s a staggering 164 percent increase from the 57 reported over the same time period in 2019 and a massive jump from the 91 reported in 2020.More Related News
