All of the injured were listed in stable condition at various hospitals.Police sources said the incident is believed to have started as a fight aboard the northbound 4 train which then spilled out onto the platform, adding some of the victims were innocent bystanders who were standing on the platform when the shots were fired.'As train pulled into the Mount Eden station, the doors opened up and at least one of the individuals in that group or in the two groups took out a gun and fired shots, and more shots were fired while on the platform and that's when and where our victims were shot,' NYPD Chief of Transit Michael Kemper said.Police said they are reviewing surveillance video from cameras on the platform. A witness said there were about a dozen people on the platform when the shots rang out, including children. 'I heard gunshots, running, shooting, like, maybe, six times, five, six times. I heard two child screaming. And then, when I saw the train coming, that's when I ran downstairs, because there was too many noise,' the witness said. The mayor's office does not believe the shooting was a random attack. Video from the scene showed numerous police and emergency personnel at the station.Watch Chopper 2 over the sceneTrains were still running but were bypassing the station in both directions.
