A victim of last month's Brooklyn subway mass shooting is set to file a lawsuit Tuesday against gunmaker GlockInc, the manufacturer of the 9 mm firearm used in the attack.
Ilene Steur, 49, endured life-changing injuries after she was shot in the rear on April 12 by a gas mask-wearing gunman aboard a train at the 36th St. station in Sunset Park, according to a report. Nine others were shot in the attack.
"I looked over, a smoke bomb went off and I saw gray smoke," Steur continued."I ran away from it and heard the pops and I felt an electric shock go through my whole body."She was later transported to New York-Presbyterian Hospital Brooklyn Methodist, where she was informed that the shot fractured her sacrum bone.
"I don't think I'll ever go back on the train," she said."I don't want to be in New York anymore. I'm scared." Glock also markets its high-capacity weapons to be concealed easily, appealing to those with the intention to commit crimes, said Mark Shirian, one of the lawyers who filed the suit.
