Though he led early polls, Weiner lost favorability with voters after another sexting scandal surfaced. He ended up placing fifth in the Democratic primary election with five percent of the votes. “We had the best ideas,” Weiner said in his concession speech. “Sadly, I was an imperfect messenger.” Teen shot to death on city bus D’aja “Asia” Robinson, 14, was shot in the head and killed on a Q6 bus in what community leaders called a “senseless act of violence.” She was on her way home from a birthday party when a shooter allegedly fired multiple times into the bus from the sidewalk near Sutphin Boulevard and Rockaway Boulevard.
