Here are the top stories in Sunset Park today:

1. Technology to scan large numbers of people for weapons exists, but can it handle the city's sprawling, vast subway system? Mayor Eric Adams is hoping so, even if human operators are there at the screening process to disarm someone carrying a weapon. Currently the thought is to try scanners at select locations as a deterrent. (HuffPost)
2. Now through July 3, see the Green-Wood Cemetery Catacombs, 500 25th St., South Slope, Brooklyn. The artist Lau worked with "local Chinese funeral homes" to create "clay and chainmail works that resemble the jade robes worn during Taoist rituals." (Hyperallergic)
3. Imagine if Harry Styles and James Corden knocked on your door and asked to film a music video on your roof. Well, that is exactly what both did for Styles' new song, "Daylight." The two went door to door until someone let them in. The video was filmed over the course of three hours. (TODAY)
   
4. There is nothing like watching a movie under the stars, gathered around loved ones and friends. Check out the places in Brooklyn where you can view a flick from your car, beach chair or your comfy blanket. Check the websites first before heading out for changes. (News 12 Bronx)
