Commish: Where is the outrage?

The Bronx hasn’t experienced this much gun violence since the mid-1990s, the city’s top cop said Tuesday — as he decried the borough’s rampant gang warfare revealed by The Post a day earlier.

“The Bronx is back to a level not seen since 1996,” NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea said on NY1 — noting that “in the last six months of last year, we had 1,000 shootings in New York City.”

“We’ve had a bad run right now in The Bronx, specifically with gang violence involving young kids,” Shea said.

“And this is what literally . . . keeps me up. It kept me up last night. What are we going to do about this? And I think everyone should be talking about [it],’’ Shea said.

The commissioner’s comments came after a 13-year-old boy and two other male teens were fatally shot in a string of gang-fueled killings over five days in the borough starting last week.

One of the slain teens, 16-year-old Ramon Gil-Medrano, had three open gun cases against him — including one for an armed carjacking that he allegedly pulled off after being freed in two weapons-possession cases.

“You have a 16-year-old kid arrested three times in 90 days with guns,’’ Shea said. “Like, where is the outrage, and where are the hearings to say, ‘What’s going on? Why would this kid be put back onto the street over and over and over without meaningful help? . . . What is the plan here? Where’s the mentorship?’

“What I want people to realize is when we’re putting kids back on the street over and over after they’re caught

with guns over and over, you’re hurting the chances of other kids to succeed,’’ the commissioner said.

“If we don’t want to put them into jail, which I firmly can understand, it’s got to be a program that actually is measured and works and has accountability, not the judge saying, ‘OK, you’re not going to jail, go back on the street,’ and no one knows where this kid is.”

The latest NYPD crime statistics show there have been more than 318 shooting victims to date in The Bronx so far this year compared to 193 in 2020, a nearly 65 percent increase.
