Update: 10 shot, 6 others injured in attack on Brooklyn Subway Station

 


At least 16 people were injured, 10 out of them by gunfire, in a Brooklyn subway station, New York on Tuesday April 12 during the morning rush, after a man released a canister of smoke and opened fire on an N train and fled.
 The D and N trains are popular lines, as they make express stops into Midtown Manhattan in New York. Police say the shooting set off panic and chaos aboard the train.
 "This individual is still on the loose, this person is dangerous," New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said during a news conference.Police were looking for a man believed to be about 5-foot-5 and 180 pounds who was wearing a green construction vest during the attack, officials said.
 The chaos, which was caught on camera , started at about 8:24 a.m. when shots rang out inside a Manhattan-bound N train as it was pulling into the 36th Street Station, NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell told reporters on Tuesday.
“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.”
