The injured victims were reported to be in stable condition after the gunfire, which was said to have stemmed from a dispute. Police recovered a handgun from the scene. This incident comes on the heels of a previous tragic shooting in Midtown Manhattan that left four people dead. Despite concerns about gun violence, New York City has recorded historically low levels in recent months. As crime headlines dominate in the lead-up to the NY mayoral elections, President Trump has also directed federal agents to address rising crime rates in Washington, DC.
