The NYPD has released bodycam video of a police shooting at the Grand Central subway station. The shooting took place last month, when officers confronted Anthony Griffin, 44. Griffin had a machete and had slashed three people. The bodycam video shows the moments leading up to the shooting, as well as the shooting itself. Griffin, who had three prior arrests, was pronounced dead at Bellevue Hospital a short time later. The incident took place at 9:40 a.m. on Saturday, April 11 inside Grand Central Station. A witness told two NYPD detectives on the subway station’s mezzanine there was a man with machete on the train. As the detectives headed to the subway platform, they encountered a slashing victim, and Griffin, with the machete in his hand.

GLOUCESTER CITY NJ (CNBNews)(July 12, 2012)–Whenever there is an election involving a seat in Congress or in the White House, you can bet your bottom dollar it will be a big year for federal grants to be given out. Even though the national debt is $16 trillion and climbing, the “Washington Elite” doesn’t care; after all, it is not their money they are spending.
For example, in May, a list of 25 towns across the United States receiving money to help pay the salaries of firemen or to rehire firemen was released. The funds were awarded through the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) program of the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), a program that provides $400 million in grants nationwide for rehiring laid-off firefighters and retaining those whose jobs are in jeopardy due to budget constraints.”

- Volunteers across the three host nations to wear colourful uniform as they welcome the world to the tournament’s 16 Host Cities
- Designed by FIFA Partner adidas, the kit will ensure comfort, functionality and easy identification
- Inspired by North America’s varsity jacket culture, Host City patches will reflect a sense of pride, unity and belonging
- Multimedia assets are available for media representatives to download for editorial purposes via FIFA Digital Hub
FIFA has unveiled the official volunteer uniform for the FIFA World Cup 2026™, featuring a bold and uplifting design that tournament volunteers will wear as they welcome the world in style. Supporting 24 areas across stadiums and training sites, FIFA Fan Festival™ venues and other key locations in Host Cities, volunteers will play an exciting part in bringing this year’s FIFA World Cup™ to life in North America – and this uniform will serve as their staple look.
Designed by adidas, a long-standing FIFA Partner, the uniform features the FIFA World Cup 2026 visual identity and highlights the FIFA Volunteer Programme’s signature heart-shaped pattern, recognising volunteers as the heartbeat of the tournament. The vibrant colours match the incredible energy that volunteers bring to FIFA events.
Developed to meet the needs of volunteers while on shift in diverse climates across North America, the collection offers layering pieces and breathable materials to support volunteers at all times. The full volunteer kit contains multiple options to mix and match into an outfit, including sneakers, socks, a mid-layer jacket, T-shirts, shorts, joggers, a cap, a waist bag and a unique customising element – Host City-specific patches. Every volunteer will receive three of these patches, which are inspired by North America’s varsity jacket culture, allowing them to personalise their look while honouring the Host City that they represent.
“As we unveil the look of our biggest volunteer team yet, we celebrate the unmatched energy and dedication of the volunteers – who will not only help deliver the greatest sporting event on the planet, but will also ensure that every fan, player and guest is welcomed with warmth and a spirit of joy,” said Heimo Schirgi, Chief Operating Officer of the FIFA World Cup 2026.
“Across the 16 Host Cities and beyond, this extraordinary team will create memorable experiences for fans. It is only fitting that they be represented by a vibrant look that reflects the essential role they play, with special elements that honour local identity and a sense of belonging.”
As fans travel throughout the three host nations, the volunteer uniform will serve as a unifying visual symbol reflecting both the spirit of the volunteers and the unforgettable experience delivered at the FIFA World Cup. Beyond enabling easy identification, the kit will also stand as a lasting keepsake of this historic tournament.
More than one million people applied to become part of the largest FIFA Volunteer Programme yet, which will consist of nearly 50,000 volunteers. Reflecting football’s global diversity, the volunteer team unites individuals aged 18 to over 80 from around the world. From students to retirees, and from first-timers to returnees, volunteers will play a vital role in helping to create memorable experiences for anyone attending the tournament. For many, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be at the heart of football’s biggest moments and to leave a legacy in the community.
The latest step in the volunteer journey for this year’s FIFA World Cup came last month, with role-specific training kicking off across Host Cities. This represented a celebratory moment, as participants came together in person for the first time within their respective areas and had the opportunity to meet their fellow volunteers. In the coming weeks, they will be visiting their local volunteer centre or uniform distribution and accreditation centre to receive their uniforms.

| Today, Congressman Van Drew provided an update on conditions at the Atlantic City Housing Authority (ACHA), including immediate relief for residents and a long-term fix to ongoing elevator failures. “Elevators breaking down in these buildings has been a problem across multiple ACHA properties for years, especially Shore Park Hi Rise on Virginia Avenue, where many seniors and residents with disabilities live,” said Congressman Van Drew. “It is unacceptable. Since the federal takeover of the ACHA, real leaders have been put in charge to take action and fix these problems. Recently, I announced more than $12 million in federal funding to help stabilize the ACHA and improve conditions for residents. I can now confirm that a portion of that funding will be used to fully replace the broken elevators. In the meantime, the elevators are operating again, and HUD has people on the ground right now helping residents day-to-day with groceries, mobility needs, and anything else that comes up. We are going to keep working until these conditions are fully fixed for the long term.” Residents in need of assistance should contact Judy Grate in Resident Services at 609-957-0798. |
