NY Post
An apparent innocent bystander was killed and at least five others – including two teenagers – were injured when gunfire erupted on a subway train as it pulled into a Bronx station during rush-hour Monday afternoon, police and law enforcement sources said.
At least 10 shots were fired at the Mount Eden Avenue station after a fight between two groups of teenagers broke out aboard a northbound 4 train at around 4:40 p.m., creating “total pandemonium,” according to witnesses and police.
A 35-year-old man was killed after he was shot in the chest, police and sources said.
His identity was not released pending family notification, but he did not appear to be an intended target, sources said.
“Today another senseless act of violence occurred on our transit system,” NYPD First Deputy Commissioner Tanya Kinsella said at a press conference Monday evening. “We have innocent victims and we want New Yorkers to know that we will get you, whoever was responsible for this.”
A 14-year-old girl, a 15-year-old boy, a 29-year-old woman and two men, ages 71 and 28, respectively, were also shot. The five surviving victims were hospitalized in stable condition.
