Most shootings right now are gang violence. There are a lot of people on the streets in Manhattan having serious psychiatric episodes attacking others. So it's rhe gangs and then the pandemic made a lot of people lose it. Police responds, they're taken to the hospital and released a few hours later onto our streets. No end in sight to this cycle.
