Hundreds of firefighters and first responders were among those paying tribute and saying goodbye Friday to Timothy Klein, who died Sunday while battling a house fire in Canarsie, Brooklyn.

2. NY's congressional, state primaries to be held Aug. 23, judge rules

A New York State Supreme Court judge ruled Friday that New York's congressional and state Senate primaries will be held Aug. 23, after the state's top court rejected congressional district maps drawn by Democrats as an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander.

The ruling came just hours after Democrats were granted more time to submit new congressional and state Senate maps for consideration by a special master.
