Published 8 months ago
Description
Monday’s deadly shooting inside a Midtown office tower is raising questions about whether existing security protocols are enough. Police say the shooter killed an NYPD officer and a security guard inside the Park Avenue building, despite both being stationed there. Meanwhile, a new count finds more homeless people in New Jersey are living on the streets or in abandoned buildings this year. Also, the MTA has voted to loosen its 2018 ban on alcohol advertising, potentially bringing beer and liquor ads back to city buses and subways.
