A state of emergency has been introduced in New York: the state governor addressed the population
The Governor of New York State addressed the population via the social network Twitter.
Andrew Cuomo announced that he had decided to introduce a state of emergency in the region. The reason for this decision was the increase in the number of crimes using firearms.
The state governor in his address noted that crimes of this kind have caused a health crisis.
The emergency mode allows you to direct the necessary available resources to solve the problem.
Let us remind you that in 24 hours on July 4th – US Independence Day – 150 people were shot dead.
In addition to New York state, shootings occurred in Chicago, Texas, Virginia, Ohio, Dallas and Atlanta.
In late spring, national officials drew public attention to an increase in violent crime.
At the same time, a forecast was made that the trend could turn into a “bloody summer” for the country.
President Biden in mid-spring, speaking about gun crime, said that the United States was experiencing a real “epidemic of violence.”
The situation is aggravated by the ability to assemble firearms from freely available parts.
