- Tody on the Gothamist NewsMap: a carjacking in Staten Island; a missing patient at Woodhull Hospital in Brooklyn; and a fatal accident in Queens.
- The Staten Island carjacking, which included a police chase, injured three people, including a child and a police officer. One suspect is in custody and police are on scene looking for a possible 2nd suspect.
- The fatal accident in Queens was a small school bus striking a 23 year-old woman in Richmond Hill. The bus had special-ed students from St. Joseph's - the students are uninjured.
- Don't you hate it when parolees commit crime again? Timothy Murray, who has a 20-year history of crime and was paroled less than a year ago, mugged a Baruch College professor, stabbing the professor's boyfriend several times in the process. After fleeing with a purse and bracelet, the police found him pretending to sleep on a bench.
- Interesting - some of the patches that the FDNY wear are getting updates for old, possibly politically incorrect nicknames. Some houses have to change due to scandal, some just because the names have a double entendre. On the list: Animal House (sex scandal), Southern Comfort (drunken party), Happy Hookers (entendre).
- Think your state senator is doing a good job? They sure do! The senate has introduced a bill to increase their salary and that of state judges (effective immediately), the governor, and other elected officials. They love the bill so much that the bill has unanimous support.
- Portions of a building set for demolition for Bruce Ratner's Atlantic Yards project collapsed this morning. Perhaps it can be seen as a cost savings for Ratner?
- Over in New Jersey, Governor Corzine says he's "the most blessed person that ever lived." Actually, if he was, he probably would have been blessed enough to wear his seatbelt.
