Despite near-historic low crime figures, gun violence in Harlem is behind rising shooting numbers.
The number of shootings in the area are on track to match last year's figures, according to NYPD data.
There were 28 more shooting incidents than last year in the month prior to April 14, police said.
The 103rd Precinct recorded one shooting since Oct. 24 last year, the commanding officer said.
A recent fight between two gang-affiliated groups fueled an uptick in shootings, officials said.
The 40th, 41st, 42nd and 44th precincts all saw a rise in rapes and a decrease in robberies, stats show.
There have been 13 shootings in the 103rd Precinct this year and officals say gun seizures have helped.
The 100th Precinct saw the jump, while the neighboring 101st Precinct saw a 47 percent spike.
Four people were shot within a 12-hour period this week, police said.
The commissioner said the nearly 10 percent rise in shootings was the reality of crime in the city.
Robberies were down 38 percent and burglaries were down 31 percent in the 103rd Precinct as of May 4.
The borough has seen an almost 29 percent increase in murders so far.
A month after Mayor de Blasio heralded historic lows, new NYPD stats show a rise in homicides.
The number of shootings in the 103rd Precinct decreased by nearly 32 percent last year.
There were 76 robberies in the 112th Precinct last year.
