The Update- October 8th

From New York, the greatest city in the world, it's The Update with Brandon Julien! Today we led off with a double-whammy: the first local victim of the national vaping crisis, and a person was killed by a train during the AM rush.

Some stories talked about on today's show were:

1. Governor Cuomo announced that a teenager from the Bronx is the first death associated with vaping in the state. Cuomo only identified the victim as a 17-year-old from the Bronx, but called vaping a "public health crisis" that must be addressed.

2. Subway service on the 7 line has resumed with delays between Manhattan and Queens after a person was fatally struck in an East River tunnel this morning. The person was struck inside the tunnel around 8:30 a.m., and crews needed to go into the tunnel to recover the body.

3. Authorities have released the names of three of the four homeless victims bludgeoned to death with a metal rod as they slept on the streets of Chinatown.
