NEW YORK - At least 34 people were shot including 10 who were killed during another bloody weekend in New York City.

An 18-year-old man was also shot in the head and was in critical condition. A 17-year-old was shot in the leg and was in stable condition, police said.
In Flatbush, a 32-year-old man was shot in the face and chest in the area of East 16th Street on Sunday. He later died.
Mayor Bill de Blasio tweeted late Sunday, “This is heartbreaking. His life was just beginning.” De Blasio added, “Sending my thoughts and prayers to the families of these boys. No parent should ever have to bury a child.”
Police have made no arrests.
Seven people were killed on Sunday alone. The shootings were part of a surge in gun violence in New York City.
Since July 19, murders were up 24 percent in the city while shootings were up 69 percent from the same time period a year earlier.
