From New York, the greatest city in the world, it's The Update with Brandon Julien! The subway system here is one of the most unique in the world, but it's gotten to a state of disrepair in recent years. Today, a plan was unveiled to change that.
Some stories talked about on tonight's show were:
1. Three people were shot, one fatally, on the street in Brooklyn Wednesday. It happened just after 1 p.m. on South 3rd Street and Hewes Street in Williamsburg. The motive appears to be gang related.
2. An 11-year-old boy somehow fell from a seventh-floor balcony in New Jersey Wednesday afternoon. Authorities say it happened around 12:30 p.m. at a building on the east side of the Excelsior apartment complex on Prospect Avenue in Hackensack.
3. The new head of New York City's subways is proposing a massive overhaul, including the replacement of worn-out signals that lead to vexing delays for millions of riders. NYC Transit President Andy Byford rolled out his plan on Wednesday.
