BARUCH COLLEGE–A gunman opened fire in the 36th Street subway station in Sunset Park, Brooklyn at around 8:30 a.m. on April 12, leaving 16 injured and the New York City Police Department investigating the situation as an act of terrorism, as of press time.
The shooting started on the N train as it was stopped at the platform, according to reports from various sources. Before opening fire, the gunman reportedly threw a smoke bomb into the subway car.
Sixteen people have been injured so far, with eight or 10 shot — reports vary — and others injured in the crowd. Supposedly, some of the injured hopped onto another train to get away from the scene.
