   At least eight people were killed and more than 44 people were   
   shot as New York City saw its surge in violence continue   
   throughout the Fourth of July weekend, according to multiple   
   reports.   
      
   As fireworks subsided, there were a reported 21 shootings that   
   left at least 37 people injured and three people killed during a   
   nine-hour span between midnight through 9:00 a.m. on Sunday,   
   according to NYPD Chief of Detectives Rodney Harrison. Later on   
   Sunday night -- in a span of three hours -- at least seven   
   people were shot, including five fatally.   
      
   "The NYPD and the community need to work together as a team to   
   help curb the violence," Harrison tweeted on Sunday. "As   
   shootings throughout NYC continue to rise, news articles like   
   these are becoming a daily occurrence."   
      
   At least four NYPD officers were involved in attacks that left   
   two with minor injuries, according to NBC New York. Two officers   
   in the Bronx were sitting in their vehicle when a bullet pierced   
   their windshield, sending glass shards into an officer's face. A   
   suspect also threw a lit firework through an unmarked police   
   vehicle window, a police spokesperson said.   
      
   Union reps in the city pointed blame at Mayor Bill de Blasio and   
   the City Council. The violence follows the  City Council's   
   recent vote that included $837 million in budget cuts and   
   funding reallocations involving the New York Police Department.   
      
   The violence on Sunday night began around 5:47 p.m. At least   
   four people were fatally shot -- all in their 20s -- in the   
   Bronx and Brooklyn, the New York Post reported. A 45-year-old   
   man was found dead after being shot in the head in Staten Island   
   at around 8:47 p.m.   
      
   NYPD leadership called out Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance   
   earlier on Sunday inquiring why he hasn't responded to any   
   shootings in the previous 24 hours.   
      
   "Manhattan DA Cy Vance where are you? No show at any shooting   
   scene!!! Our community is being attacked, there have been 24   
   people shot in the city in the past 24 hours....Where Are   
   You!!!," tweeted Assistant Chief Stephen Hughes.   
      
   Assistant Chief Kathleen O’Reilly called Vance a "Complete No   
   Show in Manhattan North!! Shame!!"   
      
   "Disgraceful the amount of people shot in Manhattan North in the   
   past 24 hours! Where are the elected officials and violence   
   interupter!! The community is suffering!!," she added.   
      
   >From the beginning of the year through Saturday, there were 530   
   shootings in New York City. There were only 350 shootings during   
   the same time period last year, police said. At least 83 people   
   were shot citywide in the nine days prior to the Fourth of July,   
   Fox 5 New York reported.   
      
   There haven't been this many shootings in New York City since   
   1996, according to the station.
