New York deploys National Guard to subways for crime prevention

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has announced her decision to deploy 1,000 additional security personnel, including 750 National Guard officers and 250 state troopers, to enhance security in the subways of New York City. This move follows a series of high-profile shootings that have occurred in the city's subway system within the first two months of the year, leaving mass-transit riders feeling uneasy. One fatal shooting took place on a 3 line subway train in Brooklyn in January. The governor's announcement is part of a larger plan to address crime in the subway system.
