It's Day 77 of the MLB Lockout 🥎🔒.
On #TheUpdate this Wednesday, it was a real close call on Long Island. Authorities say that a tanker carrying gasoline lost control, crashed into a vacant building and burst into flames, injuring the truck driver and three firefighters who responded. The building later collapsed.
In the Hudson Valley, police there say that a young girl that was reported missing in 2019 was found hidden under a staircase by officers searching a home. Officers executing a search warrant found the girl in a cold, wet, makeshift room under a basement staircase with her non-custodial mother. The families of nine victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting have agreed to a $73 million settlement of a lawsuit against the maker of the rifle used to kill 20 first graders and six educators in 2012. President Biden called the settlement "historic," saying it begins "the necessary work of holding hun manufacturers accountable for manufacturing weapons of war and irresponsibly marketing these firearms." And let's go to the lobby to get ourselves a beer. Cinemas can now serve wine and beer at concession stands, and movie-goers are allowed to take their drinks into the theater for the show- the State Liquor Authority made the ruling in a unanimous vote. 🎫🍺🍷
