In certain areas of New York, gun violence this year is at its highest level since the early 2000s.
Over the Fourth of July weekend, 51 people were shot across New York state, compared to 13 people who died from COVID-19. For a state that was once considered the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic, Governor Andrew Cuomo says the state now needs to turn its attention to a different sort of epidemic.
Cuomo on Tuesday declared a first of its kind state of emergency around gun violence and committed almost $139 million to addressing root causes that could have led to this rise in violence around the state.
