In an unprecedented moment for America’s largest city, New York City recorded zero shootings and zero murders on July 4th, 2025 — the first time such a violence-free Independence Day has occurred in the city’s recorded history.
Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch confirmed the milestone Friday morning, calling it “a historic and hopeful moment for all New Yorkers.” The NYPD verified that not a single shooting or homicide occurred across the five boroughs throughout the holiday, long known for spikes in gun violence in major cities.
“This is not just a data point — it’s a reflection of what’s possible when strategic enforcement, strong community partnerships, and smart deployment come together,” said Tisch.
The news marks a significant milestone in what has already been a banner year for public safety in New York City. According to NYPD data, the first half of 2025 saw the fewest number of shooting victims and incidents on record — a 24% drop in shooting victims and a 23% decline in incidents compared to the same period in 2024.
Officials attributed the remarkable progress to a combination of initiatives, including targeted summer deployments in high-risk areas, expanded community collaboration efforts, and a revamped approach to data-driven policing.
