Gun crime in New York
Gun crime in New York, including New York City, is relatively low compared to other major U.S. cities. The state has some of the strictest firearm laws, contributing to its position among the five states with the lowest firearm mortality rates nationwide. High-profile incidents like the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson are rare and stand out as anomalies in an environment where gun homicides are less common than in other densely populated areas.
