The NYPD is on high alert as police in Maine look for a mass shooter suspected of killing at least eighteen people in Lewiston, although officials say there is no specific threat to New York City. Also, New York City is scaling up a program to give survivors of domestic violence emergency grants of about 1,200 dollars to meet immediate housing needs. Finally, New York City’s Council on Sanitation and Solid Waste Management held a hearing yesterday to address safety and protections for sanitation workers after more than 750 workers were injured within the last year. Council Member Sandy Nurse, the chair of that committee, joins WNYC's Sean Carlson discuss the issue.
