cressida Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 (edited) Sixteen people have been injured in a shooting during the morning rush hour at a New York City subway station. The unidentified attacker detonated a smoke bomb and opened fire at Brooklyn's 36th Street station at 08:30 local time (12:30 GMT). Images from the scene showed bloodied passengers lying on the floor of the smoke-filled station. Officials are appealing for information about the gunman, who fled the scene and is still at large. "An individual donned a gas mask, he then opened fire striking multiple people on the subway and on the platform." New York City Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell said. The attacker then fled wearing what Ms Sewell said was a green construction-type vest and a grey sweatshirt. "This is not being investigated as an act of terrorism at this time," she added. Ten of those who are being treated for injuries were shot, while others suffered smoke inhalation as well as injuries sustained during the initial panic. Five people are in a critical but stable condition. None of the injured are believed to be in a life threatening condition, police said. Officers are still working to establish a motive for the attack. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada- Edited April 12, 2022 by cressida Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_DADDY Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Absolutely crazy. I hope everyone recovers from their injuries asap. In a country like America I'm surprised he wasn't put down by somone else carrying a gun. Well unless it happened in a part of the states with tough gun laws of course.
