In this episode, we begin with a welcome and an overview of the top stories. We explore the identification of 9/11 victims and reflect on the legacy of that day.

Key Points
- The New York City Medical Examiner's office remains dedicated to identifying 9/11 victims, with 40 percent of the 2,753 victims still unidentified.
- The NYPD attributes a rise in teenage shooting deaths to legal loopholes, particularly the "Raise the Age" laws, which prevent teens from being prosecuted as adults for certain major crimes.
- New York City officials are urging water conservation as reservoir levels drop below 63 percent capacity, compounded by the ongoing repair of the Delaware Aqueduct.
