Good Monday morning to you. Rain is coming.
The killing of two police officers has roiled the city.
Officers Wenjian Liu, 32, and Rafael Ramos, 40, were shot dead on Saturday as they sat in their patrol car in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn.
The gunman, Ismaaiyl Brinsley, 28, fled to the subway and killed himself.
Around the city, flags flew at half-staff on Sunday, and groups behind recent protests against the police were among those who rushed to condemn the killings.
The officers were remembered in their Brooklyn neighborhoods, and at Madison Square Garden, where they received a standing ovation at a Rangers game.
No information has been released yet on the officers’ funerals, but the question of whether the mayor will attend is a big one.
The shootings escalated tensions between the police and the mayor.
This month, after Mr. de Blasio made statements supporting anti-police protesters, union leaders had urged officers to tell him not to attend their funerals.
And after Saturday’s shootings, police officers turned their backs on the mayor when he arrived at a hospital.
But the family of Officer Ramos said that Mayor de Blasio was welcome at his funeral.
Many leaders, including the president of the city’s largest police union and former Gov. George E. Pataki, held Mr. de Blasio responsible for the deaths.
Former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani said that was going too far. “That’s an incorrect and incendiary charge,” Mr. Giuliani said.
The Police Department announced it would take added precautions; placing sentries outside station houses and directing officers on foot patrol to work only in pairs.
Here’s what else you need to know.

AND FINALLY …
In 1935, Mayor Fiorello La Guardia pronounced streetcars “as dead as sailing ships” as he ushered in the modern era of mass transit in the city for better or worse: buses over trolleys, the demolition of elevated lines, and the unification of the subway system.
Tonight at 6:30 at the Mid-Manhattan Library, a historian, Andrew J. Sparberg, author of “From a Nickel to a Token,” will give an illustrated lecture on the midcentury history of the transit system.
Admission is free.
