“#NYC shootings continue to surge \u2014 and cops warn it may be the new normal<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Bullets are whizzing around New York this month at a rate not seen in nearly a quarter century, according to the NYPD \u2014 and police sources warned that the recent run of gunplay may be the new normal.<\/p>\n

Through the first three weeks of June, which came to a close Sunday, city streets echoed with 125 shooting incidents, Chief of Crime Control Strategies Michael LiPetri told The Post on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to go back to June of 1996 to get a worse start for June,\u201d said LiPetri. \u201cThat is a telling stat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Twenty-four years ago, Rudy Giuliani was mayor and, while the city had made strides in tamping down crime, Gotham still saw 2,938 people shot and 984 murdered.<\/p>\n

Although overall crime citywide remains down 2.5 percent for the year, shootings, already trending up this year, exploded in June.<\/p>\n

From Monday, June 15, through Sunday, there were 53 shooting incidents across the city, the highest mark for a single week since Mayor de\u2009Blasio took office.<\/p>\n

The last time the city recorded that many shootings in a week was around July 4, 2012, according to police sources.<\/p>\n

But to find a nonholiday week \u2014 which tends to be quieter \u2014 with that many shootings, the department had to look all the way back to 2005, according to LiPetri.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis weekend we also saw real challenges out in our streets in terms of gun violence,\u201d said de Blasio in a press briefing, remarking on the blood-soaked stretch that included 24 people shot citywide on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not going to allow gun violence to continue to grow in this city,\u201d vowed Hizzoner.<\/p>\n

NYPD insiders contended, however, that after years of de Blasio proclaiming New York the safest big city in America while embracing a soft-on-crime app<\/a>roach, the chickens could be coming home to roost at City Hall.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the bloodiest week in de Blasio\u2019s reign, and it will only get worse,\u201d said one Brooklyn cop. \u201cHe can\u2019t brag how safe the city is anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n

Added a Queens cop, \u201cBy the time he leaves, his legacy will not be dropping crime. It\u2019ll be increasing crime.\u201d<\/p>\n

NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea conceded that a titanic challenge could be looming on the horizon, but said there\u2019s time to fix it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt takes a long time to turn a ship. It sees the iceberg that\u2019s directly in front of us, and that\u2019s exactly what\u2019s happening right now,\u201d the top cop told NY1 on Monday. \u201cWe\u2019ve been trending this way for a while and the shootings are just the latest symptom.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shea announced last week that the plainclothes anti-crime unit tasked with rounding up illegal guns was being disbanded due to the volume of complaints against its members.<\/p>\n

Calling the spate of shootings a \u201ctroubling trend,\u201d de\u2009Blasio said the city would not surrender the ground it has gained and head back to the crime-plagued days of the 1990s.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not going back to the bad old days when there was so much violence in this city,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
