This may not sound like a big deal if you live at a place where homicide is not really rampant but for New York City, this is worth celebrating—as the city has gone 11 straight days without any reported homicide.

As CNN puts it “New York City  has gone 11 days without a homicide, its longest stretch without any on modern record, the New York Police Department said Friday.

The record was broken midnight Thursday. It was the 11th full day without a reported homicide. The last reported homicide was February 1, or Super Bowl Sunday, in Upper Manhattan, a police representative said Friday.”

In celebrating this milestone, Police Commissioner Bill Bratton hushed talk of the streak Friday on ‘CBS This Morning; saying,”Shh … we don’t want to jinx it,” Bratton told host Charlie Rose. “We’re into our 12th day now, Charlie. Eleven is a record and let’s keep it going.”

Just a week ago, between February 1 and February 8, 110 shooting incidents were recorded as compared to 91 recorded in 2014,  Detective Cheryl Crispin of the New York Police Department’s Public Information office said.

Now you see why going 11 days without any homicide is a big deal in NYC.
