Description
In New York City, around 150 migrants are now sleeping outside the Roosevelt Hotel in Midtown due to lack of space in city shelters, with people like Omar Sall from Senegal marking his third day on the sidewalk. In another development, Thomas Abreu, the 25-year-old Brooklyn man accused of random scooter shootings last month, faced indictment arraignments yesterday. Also, the city pledges $500 million to the anti-gun violence initiative "A Blueprint for Community Safety," prioritizing six precincts with the highest gun violence rate last year. For more on this, WNYC’s Elizabeth Kim and public safety reporter Samantha Max have the latest.
