🚨Graphic photos emerge after Subway shooting 🚨
A manhunt is now underway as details continue to emerge in this developing situation, and the NYPD is reportedly looking for a U-Haul with Arizona license plate #AL31408 in connection to the shooting. It should be noted that All U-Haul trucks have Arizona plates.
Police say the shooting happened on a Manhattan bound N train making express stops just before 8:30 a.m. local time, and that the suspect was seen mumbling to himself before donning the gas mask and removing a canister from a bag before the car began to fill with smoke. He then opened fire with a handgun, striking several people on the train and on the platform at the 36th Street subway station in Sunset Park.
Law enforcement officials said a gun was recovered at the scene, along with a bag of smoke canisters and fireworks.

✍️ New Mexico boosts its free college program
Many states have for years offered free tuition programs for four-year degrees to residents, but the programs had restrictions, limiting participation to recent high school graduates and requiring that they attend school full-time.
Supporters of those restrictions say they incentivize students to finish their degree and narrow the number of students who participate. Since 2020, the program has been used by 10,000 state residents pursuing associate’s degree programs, including nursing.
New Mexico’s governor and legislature hope the expanded Opportunity Scholarship program will be enough to reverse the state’s dismal education outcomes. Only Mississippi has a lower percentage of four-year-degree holders, at 23%.

💊 Appeals court: J&J must pay $302M in pelvic mesh case
A California appeals court has upheld a lower court ruling that Johnson & Johnson must pay penalties to the state for deceptively marketing pelvic mesh implants for women, but reduced the amount by $42 million to $302 million.
Many women have sued the New Jersey-based company, alleging that the mesh caused severe pain, bleeding, infections, discomfort during intercourse and the need for removal surgery.
Johnson & Johnson, the world’s biggest maker of health care products, is contesting other lawsuits over drug side effects, its role in the US opioid epidemic, and allegations its baby powder caused cancer in some users.

💀 Overdoses pushed US to highest death total ever
The CDC does not yet have a tally for 2021 overdose deaths, but provisional data through October suggests the nation is on track to see at least 105,000 overdose deaths in 2021 — up from 93,000 the year before.
New research released Tuesday showed a particularly large jump in overdose deaths among 14- to 18-year-olds. Experts attributed the spike to fentanyl, a highly lethal drug that has been cut into heroin for several years. More recently, it’s also been pressed into counterfeit pills resembling prenoscription drugs that teens sometimes abuse.
One study looked at death data in the US and 19 other high-income countries. The US fared the worst.
