The NYPD’s 71st Precinct has announced the seizure of four guns from the streets of Crown Heights, and from the hands of local gang members.

“71 shooting suppression team with the assistance of 71 field intelligence officers team up to take these illegal firearms off the streets and out of the hands of gang members and repeat offenders,” the precinct tweeted.

Such seizures are believed to have contributed to the relative quiet in the Crown Heights area, while in other areas of New York City violent crime is on the rise.

Sunday night saw a particularly gruesome time in Brooklyn, with a man opening fire on a group of young adults after a sweet sixteen party, killing one and injuring six others.
