A 25 year old woman shot in the head at Irving Place and 14th street around 5 this morning. Most people shocked and worried as they go to work, take children to school but others not surprised, saying the city is going downhill when it comes to crime.

I just want to remind everyone there is a daycare center at capitol for congressional staff and the parents can’t even get to their babies. Babies! Children are also on lockdown according to my cousin who is a staffer. She kept her child home today as a precaution.

Why can’t

do tests by appointment instead of making people wait in these insane lines? Or at least have everyone online register, get a number, leave a cell # and get text when they’re within a few patients of being seen? This is just stupidity.

Why local news matters: After our flight was canceled, we rented a car and drive to Florida. We stopped in Florence, SC. As a reporter, I love watching local news wherever I am. There’s a boil water advisory here. The staff at Homewood Suites told us nothing (1/2)

Here’s something not being reported.
@mta
has a federal settlement with disability groups to make 95% of

stations accessible by 2055. The first year of congestion pricing would have helped fund elevators at more than 20. The money has to come from somewhere.
Update from

body camera footage shows ofc involved in shooting said that suspect had a gun pointed at his abdomen and that he said “die expletive.” A loaded semiautomatic gun was recovered from the scene, pictured below. Suspect is in surgery and is stable.
