It’s Friday, September 6 — here’s what you’ll find in today’s newsletter:

• Criminal charges for the father of the Georgia school shooter

• New York City’s struggle to collect transportation fare

• 4 quick hits of news from the last 24 hours

Shooter’s father charged

The Georgia shooter’s father was charged with two counts of second-degree murder and cruelty to children. The GBI claims that the father “knowingly allowed” his son to possess the weapon.

The Daily Beast says the father of the shooter “missed all the warning signs”: He was aware of his son's threats and gave him access to firearms.

Hot Air says the entire family of the shooter have “very serious issues”: The father gifted an AR-15 despite ongoing investigations into his son's threats. “This entire situation is simply a disaster”.

This Redditor's take: It's good that police are getting serious about holding parents accountable.

NYC’s fare fiasco

NYC's fare evasion crisis costs the city millions annually. The NYT says a whopping 48% of bus riders don't pay the fare.

An AMNY Op thinks it's a culture problem: NYC could tackle fare evasion by using unarmed inspectors and educating riders about the cost of fare evasion.

An NY Post Op proposes an alternative solution: Impose harsher penalties and a “proof of payment” system.

An NYT Op's take: The solution is simple. A return to increased policing would curb NYC fare evasion.

1) Typhoon Yagi, hitting Southern China, is marked as the strongest in a decade with massive evacuations.

2) California's coast swelters under extreme heat, hitting 100 degrees at midnight, raising fire dangers.

3) FBI raids homes of NYC Mayor's deputies and subpoenas for NYPD officials as part of an investigation.

4) Despite earlier ambitions, Trump's campaign narrows its focus to pivotal states, as Harris gains momentum.
