       Summary: The types of crimes that were reported over the past week were gun violence and assaults. I’ve been researching last week’s crimes I found that on Day 1 a 15-year-old boy was in JD sports trying to rob and the security guard caught him and tried shooting at the security but instead, he shot a 37-year-old woman who was hit in the leg. Day 2 a 20-year-old man had been wanted in a series of carjackings and shootings in Memphis, a man was found dead, and two women were shot. On day 3 there was a shooting at Mount Eden Avenue station in the Bronx, two groups of teenagers on board a northbound 4 train were involved in a dispute and one of the individuals took out a gun and started firing shots toward passengers exiting the train and at people on the platform. 5 wounded victims from ages 14-71 and 35-year-old man who died. Day 4 there was a shooting in front of an Atlanta high school students were fired from an “Unknown vehicle” shortly after classes had been let out of the day. Three 17-year-olds and an 18-year-old were wounded. Day 5 two officers were kicked and punched on West 42nd street. A Venezuelan man oversaw a ring of criminals who rode mopeds and snatched purses and cellphones from more than 60 people, most of them women walking alone, all alone crimes have been happening because of Venezuelan immigrants who are causing commotion with the NYPD and causing crimes around NYC.
