New York: One person was killed and five others sustained injuries in a shooting after miscreants pulled out a gun and began firing as a subway train pulled into a station in the Bronx borough of New York.
The shooting occurred around 4:30 p.m. Monday. No one has been apprehended yet in connection with the shooting and no weapons have been recovered. Authorities said they are looking for at least one suspect.
It is suspected that the shooting stemmed from a dispute between two groups of teenagers who started fighting while riding the train, according to NYPD Transit Chief Michael Kemper. The shooting started when the train’s doors opened, Kemper said. At least one shot was fired in a subway car, and more were fired as passengers fled the train.
A man in his 30s was pronounced dead at a local hospital. The five others injured in the shooting who range in age from 14 to 71 years old are in stable condition, police said. Some of the victims were bystanders and some were part of the two teen groups, police added.
