It’s unclear whether the security cameras were working at the NYC subway station where multiple people were shot this morning: “That’s under investigation as we speak,” said the NYPD Commissioner.
Police Department Commissioner Keechant L. Sewell said at a press conference that the incident is not currently being investigated as an act of terrorism, although a source with knowledge of the matter toldthat the NYPD was investigating the attack as potentially just that. The situation, however, remains fluid, with Sewell herself adding, “This investigation is only hours old, so please note this information is subject to change.
According to preliminary reports, at least five people were shot on the N train April 12. A New York City Fire Department representative toldthat 13 people were injured in the mayhem, although it was unclear how many of them were shot. Police also said they were seeking a suspect identified only as a man wearing a gas mask and a construction vest. An NYPD representative tellsthere are “multiple people injured,” but that number “keeps changing.” So far, however, all the victims are stable.
She also offered a detailed account of the incident, saying, “Just before 8:24 this morning, as a Manhattan-bound N train waited to enter the 36th Street station, an individual on that train donned what appeared to be a gas mask. He then took a canister out of his bag and opened it. The train at that time began to fill with smoke. He then opened fire, striking multiple people on the subway and on the platform.
