As violence broke out around the city on July Fourth, the 27-year-old boyfriend of an NYPD officer was shot and injured in a drive-by shooting outside a Dior store in Manhattan.
Last night, when the man sat in his car outside the upscale store in Soho, he was shot many times.
He suffered injuries to his right underarm and was sent to Mount Sinai Beth Israel hospital, where he is likely to survive.
On a bloody Fourth of July that resulted in at least three fatalities and 24 injuries on Monday, the most recent bloodshed to plague the Big Apple took place.
In relation to the shootings, no one has been detained. There were 24 shootings from Friday through Sunday, totaling 31 victims.
In the same period last year, there were 15 incidents and 19 victims.
Before firing at least three rounds outside the Dior shop last night, the shooter drew up next to the victim around 5pm in a white BMW with New Jersey licence plates.
The man, who is the boyfriend of an NYPD officer, was shot in the right underarm during the drive-by shooting and was taken to the hospital by his girlfriend.
According to police, the number of shootings over the long weekend increased by 60% over the previous year.
After making a commitment to keep New Yorkers safe over the long weekend, Mayor Eric Adams announced the massive increase.
