NEW YORK (WPIX) – One person was killed and five others were injured in a shooting at a New York City subway station during the evening commute on Monday, authorities said.
The shooter was still at large after opening fire around 4:35 p.m., according to police. The shooting happened at a subway station in the Bronx.
A 35-year-old man was killed in the shooting, police said.
A 14-year-old girl, a 15-year-old boy, a 28-year-old man, a 29-year-old woman and a 71-year-old man were injured, according to authorities. A fire department spokesperson told the Associated Press that four of the injuries were serious.
The incident started as a fight on a train and then continued on the platform, police sources told Nexstar’s WPIX. Video from television news helicopters showed a subway train stopped at the station and orange evidence cones on the elevated platform.
New York City Emergency Management asked the public to avoid the area.
“Expect mass transit disruptions, delays, road closures & emergency personnel near Jerome Avenue & Mt Eden Avenue,” New York City Emergency Management posted on social media.
This is a developing story and will be updated. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
