BREAKING: The mother of Derrell Mickles— the man shot by police on the L train yesterday for allegedly trying to evade the fare— just told me she had no idea he was shot. An officer left a business card at her door yesterday, but she didn’t know why. She is shocked. Story TK.

I’ve been outside Bronx Lebanon hospital all day, waiting for family members looking for loved ones. I spoke to a father who lost his 5 y/o daughter, & saw multiple unconscious children being wheeled out to be transferred to different facilities. This is horrible. @NYDailyNews

The nurses striking today at Montefiore Moses in the Bronx said they were more concerned with patient safety & staffing ratios than wage increases. “You’re just kind of treading water to get through the night,” one ER nurse told me. Story TK.

Greetings from ~The Line~ which is 50 or 60 reporters long. Pizza boxes, lawn chairs, and blankets are strewn about. Some people are sleeping, others are socializing. @HellGateNY says they’re selling their #2 spot for “$10K minimum.” The night is young.

NYPD exodus? Almost a quarter of rank and file officers in a recent survey say they’re actively looking to leave the department, which is at its lowest staffing levels in decades. But safety & anti-police sentiment are NOT top reasons. gothamist.com/news/nypds-ran… vía @Gothamist

Powerful work by @HurubieMeko about the toll of gun violence on NYC’s kids: “This year, about one in every 10 New Yorkers struck by a bullet was a child. At least 16 died, according to the Police Department.”

Displaced Bronx residents told me this building was a “total disaster” inside, where leaks, holes in walls, rats and rot were common. They said their complaints would go unheeded for weeks. gothamist.com/news/total-dis… vía @gothamist
