Police reported that among the victims were two females and four males ranging in age from 14 to 71, and a 34-year-old man was killed.
One person was killed and five others were wounded in a shooting at a New York City subway station Monday at the start of the evening rush hour, authorities said.
The gunfire broke out on an elevated train platform in the Bronx at around 4:30 p.m., a time when stations throughout the city are filled with kids coming home from school and many workers are beginning their evening commute.
“We don't believe this was a random shooting,” said Michael Kemper, New York Police Department Chief of Transit. “This incident today occurred as the result of two groups that started fighting while on a train.” The two groups in question were teenagers, according to Kemper.
Police reported that among the victims were two females and four males ranging in age from 14 to 71, and a 34-year-old man was killed. A Fire Department spokesperson described four of the other injuries as serious. No names for the victims have been released.
Authorities stated that the suspect left the scene, and efforts to apprehend them are ongoing.
