🌱 Kith-Marvel Spider-Man Pop-Up + This Robber Went Through The Window

Hi all. It's me, Miranda Fraraccio, your host of the Queens Daily — back in your inbox with everything you need to know about what's happening in town these days. Here goes.

First, today's weather:

Partly sunny and more humid. High: 82 Low: 71.

Here are the top three stories today in Queens:

1. Kith partnered with Marvel to create an amazing Spider-Man experience in Oakland Gardens. The pop-up, which celebrates the 60th anniversary of Spider-Man, is available through this Sunday, Jul. 17. Event-goers can buy Spider-Man merchandise, view a Kith edition Spider-Man comic book, and many more items. Attendees who arrived on day one waited in line for over two hours to get into the location. (QNS.com)
2. He came in through the Dunkin' window. A thief used an unorthodox means to enter a Dunkin' Donuts. At about 1:00 a.m. on Wednesday, the burglar pried open the drive-thru window using a crowbar and climbed in. A photo released by police shows the man climbing through the windown of the Dunkin' on Flushing Avenue near 61st Street to retrieve a cash register. (PIX11 New York News)
3. A robbery went wrong, and one police officer accidentally shot and killed another. Should this man pay the price? When a man using a fake gun attempted to rob a T-Mobile in Richmond Hill, police surrounded the site and opened fire when the man charged. A detective was killed by the crossfire, and now the robber's co-conspirator is being charged with felony murder. Felony murder is a doctrine that means that when someone dies during the commission of a felony, the criminal will also be charged with murder. Read Jagger Freeman's story, and consider one of many complicated and sometimes unfair parts of our criminal justice system. (Gothamist)
