Local outlets the New York Daily News and New York Post reported the last time there was a full weekend without any reported shootings was in 1993, citing NYPD reports.

“I really don’t remember a weekend that no one was shot in the entire city,” NYPD Chief of Department Terence Monahan told the Post. “It’s a different city.”

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio called the streak "amazing" in a speech to the NYPD graduating class on Monday morning, the Post reported.

The shooting-free weekend ended when a man was shot in the ankle on Monday afternoon.

Violent crime has been steadily dropping in the city, with 734 shootings so far in 2018, marking a 2.5 percent drop from the 753 at the same time in 2017, according to the newspaper.
