New York City celebrates day without violent crime

For the first time in living memory, New York has spent a day entirely without violent crime.

The city police department's chief spokesman said that Monday was the most bloodshed-free 24-hour period in recent history.

Not a single murder, shooting, stabbing or other incident of violent crime was reported for a whole day.

Despite a July spike in homicides, the city's murder rate is on target to hit its lowest point since 1960.

Just a few months ago, residents were living through what one tabloid newspaper called the "summer of blood".

A city that size it's very hard to believe,something must have happened that was not reported or something was slid under a desk for tomorrow,it,s a very sleazy town i've been there once on business and it was sleazy,nuff said .
