Police are searching for a gunman after at least 10 people were shot on a Brooklyn subway train, causing panic early Tuesday. The shooting occurred before 8:30 a.m. on a Manhattan-bound N train in Brookyn's Sunset Park neighborhood, Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell said at a news conference.
The train was waiting to enter the 36th Street station when a man put on a gas mask and opened a canister before the train began filling up with smoke and the man began firing, Sewell said. The shooter, whom Sewell described as a Black male with a heavy build, was wearing a green construction vest and a gray sweatshirt, she said.

Trust me this coward will be apprehended!!! He can’t hide this is NY..!!!!
I’m more afraid that some bleeding heart person is gong to help him stay out of jail.
He just got caught… A 62 year old man
Are you a snitch?
How did they know the suspect did they catch him ?
Scary times for NYC, the city is slowly spiraling into chaos 😮
Slowly? All started with the “summer of love.” The suspension of law and order there happened very quickly.
Democrats gotta love what they do to the place
Still safer than the 70s
Living in the city sure looks like fun
just an fyi for anyone seeing this, if this conversation angers you, theres no reason to reply. we dont have time in our lives to be angry at people on the internet or anyone in general, just save your words.
@Lindon Stern ok. Try again tho
There hiding his race as they search
@Root Beer thugs in cities would kill with broken glass bottles after the last gun was destroyed
I was at school hearing this bro so crazy
How tf did he get out of the train without anyone noticing or going after him, this reminds me of the Las Vegas shooting, FBI informants covering up what actually happen, when the circumstances always go against there theory’s.
Yes because I would definitely run after a dude with a gun like I’m immortal, uh huh
@Black Burgundy definitely
@Black Burgundy he dropped the gun and ran with the people hoping no one will notice
So he didn’t have the gun but I get what ur saying
@mAdara_uch_iha that’s irrelevant, I wouldn’t have known if he dropped it lmao, no matter what, no rational person, unless they have some background in law enforcement, is going after an armed dude.
And I saw one victim checking his cell phone while awaiting for medical assistance. City people!
I ♡ NY
Someone said that the shooter is a black gentleman.
…. I doubt if he really is a gentleman though.
Lol
That description is about to get so many people detained
Defund the police, how’s it going?
The Governor, just say NO to violence. Shooters, rapist, robbers, murders getting no bail. You broke the system with your pro-criminal stances from the City to the State.
DEFUND the police!!!!
What made it worse was that they tried to escape by going to the door into the next car but the door was locked.
The gunman was actually at the door shooting at them, they were not heading that direction for sure!
How did he get away so fast?
These are like the most calmest group of people ever like I was expecting very loud screaming and very fast running.
Sure Columbo
America saw the headline.
America knew right away what the suspect’s color was.
I’m surprised people don’t snap like this more often 😋
Has anyone notice the clear pattern to many horrific crimes happening in New York City?
