Mayor Adams: NYC Seeking Gun Detection Scanners

The city says it's exploring technology, not metal detectors, that could identify a gun.

New York City is looking into deploying random gun scanners at subway stations and bus terminals.

"We're trying now to negotiate with the Port Authority to allow us to place scanners at the bus terminals because many of these guns are coming from the south into our city," mayor Eric Adams said.

The announcement comes just days after a 48-year-old man was shot in the subway and weeks after Frank James fired 33 bullets into a train in Brooklyn, leaving 23 people wounded.
