NYC shootings fall to 32-year record low over Memorial Day weekend: NYPD
Memorial Day weekend in the Big Apple saw the fewest number of shootings of any holiday since such data were first recorded 32 years ago, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said Tuesday. There were seven incidents of gun violence in New York City from Friday through Monday – breaking the previous record of 10 set in 2013, according to the department. 'We had the safest Memorial day weekend in terms of gun violence that New York City has ever seen,' Tisch said on Fox 5's 'Good Day New York.' 3 NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said the Big Apple had the lowest number of shootings over Memorial Day weekend in the last 32 years. FOX 5 'We have more cops out there than ever before – 1,500 additional cops this summer, and we were also very precise about the locations where we deployed our cops – looking at historical data about where the gun violence has occurred.' Tisch explained that the department's summer plan, which began on May 5, shifted deployments to focus on problem areas with a history of violent outbreaks — with shootings in these hotspots down nearly 60%. 3 Data showed there were seven shootings between Friday and Monday, a decline from the 17 reported last year. Kyle Mazza/NurPhoto/Shutterstock 'Given the results we've had over the first weeks of the program, and especially this weekend, we think that for this first go, we picked the locations correctly,' she noted. The city saw two gunfire incidents Friday, one Saturday, and four Monday — as Gotham marked its first shooting-free Sunday during a Memorial Day weekend in 32 years, the department said. The previous record was three shootings reported in 2004, 2013, and 2017. 3 Fleet week had a safe time, as Gotham marked its first shooting-free Sunday during a Memorial Day weekend in 32 years. Michael Nagle There were 17 gun-related incidents recorded over the long holiday last year — with five shootings on Saturday, and four shooting each on Friday, Sunday and Monday. This year, data showed seven people were impacted by the acts of gun violence — a sharp drop from the staggering 21 shooting victims reported over the patriotic weekend in 2024. 'I think that the department has a lot of very rich data that we can mind and we can use to inform our operations,' Tisch said, touting the department's data and analytic team. 'One of the things I really enjoyed about this job, which is a difficult job, is getting to work with those talented data analysts to see how they pick where they're going to deploy the cops. And I'm very pleased that it's worked so far as well as it has.'

Memorial Day isn't just a day when businesses close
As a veteran myself, two sons currently serving and a family history full of veterans, I thought it appropriate to actually bring reference to this day and provide some clarity. Although in the United States Memorial Day unilaterally is a day to signify the start of summer, it is much, much, more than that. My first memories of Memorial Day date back the late 1960's in Simsbury Connecticut where the town virtually stopped on Memorial Day. Most families headed to downtown and gathered along route 10 (main road through town) and waited for the big Memorial Day parade to start. It virtually closed the town down for two hours so we could all support and wave small American flags cheering for the veterans who lead the parade down the street, trailed by the local police, fire trucks and other community members. When the parade was done, we went to the local downtown cemetery and walked trough seeing all the flags which were placed on the graves of fallen veterans. Memorial Day dates back to the early 1800's when it was first recognized as Decoration Day not as a celebration but to honor and place flowers on the graves of the war-dead, the fallen men and women who died fighting for our freedoms. According to history references, especially we have secured the most accurate reflection of this day. Some early articles suggest that in 1865 it had begun along South Carolina when groups of wives and families decorated graves of the fallen but the most notable date is May 30 1868. May 30, 1868 is recognized as the first organized event at Arlington National Cemetery for what later became Memorial day. Records indicate that Civil War General John A Logan suggested the end of May be recognized for observance to the fallen. Army General Logan asked and received the special day and it spread across the country, May 30th proclamation. Thanks to the writers and newspapers in 1919-1920 right after World War 1, the news of this great event/day spread across the country simultaneously growing to larger events, parades and gatherings for all who lost their lives serving in any war or conflict for this country. Memorial Day itself was said to have been formalized in 1966 by then President Lyndon B Johnson as "National Moment of Remembrance" but it wasn't until 1971 when it became an official federal holiday and changed from May thirty to the last Monday in May. Arlington National Cemetery and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, have a deep significance to Memorial Day. In November of 1921, the remains of a US Army Soldier during World War 1, was brought back from France and laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery, and the spot is now known as the "Tomb of the Unknown Soldier". The tomb of the Unknown Soldier becomes the annual wreath laying ceremony on Memorial day at 11 a.m, and is a national observance event typically attended by the President of the United States and many US Government officials and cabinet members. They will and are flanked by members from all branches of the US Military, veterans and spectators from around the world.
