At least 10 people have been shot and another six injured after a man wearing a gasmask opened fire inside of a subway train in New York earlier this morning.
Police were quick to respond to the event, which unfolded on a subway train at Brooklyn’s Sunset Park.
NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell said the incident began at round 8:24AM just as the subway train was about to reach the 36th Street Station.
“The suspect was in the train car, the shooting began in the train car,” she said.
“As the train was pulling into the station, the subject put on a gas mask. He then opened a canister that was in his bag and then the car began to fill with smoke. After that he began shooting.”
