From New York, the greatest city in the world, it's The Update with Brandon Julien! Just when you think the news cycle gets boring, someone does something to zap it back to life. The governor and a shooting involving FBI agents did just that.
Some stories talked about on today's show were:
1. Shots were fired as FBI agents took a man wanted for questioning in a Queens 2017 homicide into custody early Friday morning. It followed an hours-long standoff. The agents initially spotted the suspect, 54-year-old Wilbert Bryant, holding a dark object in his hand. It was initially believed to be a gun, but was actually a knife.
2. Gov. Andrew Cuomo says he's calling off a planned 15-month shutdown of the L train between Manhattan and Brooklyn. The shutdown was supposed to start in April.
3. A federal judge says a New York City law forcing Airbnb and HomeAway home-sharing platforms to reveal detailed information about its business seems unconstitutional.
