Police are investigating after two men were killed and a third was injured in a shooting at 207th Street and 10th Avenue in Inwood on Sunday night. Meanwhile, New York City officials are urging residents to take precautions ahead of a major heat wave expected to hit the region from Tuesday to Friday. Mayor Adams says cooling centers will be open. Plus, the news of Governor Kathy Hochul’s last-minute reversal on congestion pricing has dominated the headlines and the president of New York City Transit, Richard Davey, has stepped down.
