      XPost: sac.politics, alt.fan.rush-limbaugh, talk.politics.guns       XPost: soc.culture.african.american       From: democrat-criminals@mail.house.gov              https://nypost.com/2022/04/12/nypd-investigating-possible-explosion-in-       brooklyn-subway-station/              A maniac possibly disguised as an MTA worker unleashed bloody hell on a       Brooklyn subway train during the early-morning rush Tuesday, injuring at       least 16 people — including 10 who were shot — when he set off a smoke       grenade and opened fire in the car, cops said.              The gunman was wearing a “green construction-type vest” and gas mask when       he launched his bloody assault aboard a Manhattan-bound N train around       8:24 a.m. just as the subway was pulling into the 36th Street station in       Sunset Park, NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell said during a news briefing       at the scene.              “An individual on that train donned what appeared to be a gas mask. He       then took a canister out of his bag and opened it,” Sewell said. “The       train at that time began to fill with smoke. He then opened fire, striking       multiple people on the subway and on the platform.”              The commish said the incident wasn’t being investigated as an act of       terror at the moment and noted none of the victims were of a particular       ethnic group, but she also added that no motive has been ruled out.              The suspect shot 10 people, including five who are in critical but stable       condition, the FDNY said. Some of the victims suffered from smoke       inhalation, but no one of those injured has life-threatening injuries,       Sewell said. A pregnant woman was among those hospitalized, sources said.              The suspect, described as a black male, approximately 5’5” with a heavy       build, is still on the loose.              Police later recovered a gun with extended ammo, a hatchet, a can of       pepper spray, two gas canisters, a bag full of fireworks and another       satchel holding what appears to be BB pellets at the scene, sources said.       It was not immediately unclear if any of the items belonged to the       suspect.              The FDNY said earlier Tuesday that several undetonated devices were found       at the 36th Street station, but the NYPD later confirmed no known active       explosive devices were found.              As the mayhem unfolded, straphangers were evacuated to the R train across       the platform, where some got off at the next stop and others were rushed       to hospitals.              “They just started yelling,” said Gaba Semein, 16, who was at the 36th       Street station en route to class when the mayhem unfolded, referring to       people around her.              “They told us to switch to the R. Everyone got on, including a guy who got       shot. He hobbled on,” he said.              Footage taken from the chaotic scene showed screaming passengers spewing       out onto the platform as soon as the train doors opened and clouds of       smoke billowing out.              Graphic photos on social media showed the injured lying on bloodstained       subway platform floors.              A straphanger who was on the train when the violence broke out told The       Post there were so many rounds fired off, she “lost count.”              “There was like, lots of them. I don’t even know how many,” said the       woman, who only gave her first name, Claire.              She said she saw the suspect drop “some kind of cylinder that sparked at       the top.              “I thought he was an MTA worker at first,” she said.              The NYPD’s bomb squad was on the scene investigating, and authorities were       scouring MTA surveillance to try to identify the suspect, but sources told       The Post cameras on the station’s platform and turnstiles hadn’t been       working since Friday.              While the suspect was already on the train after having entered at another       location, the surveillance footage could have caught him leaving after the       attack.              Cops asked reporters at the scene to be clearly identified so the suspect       doesn’t attempt to blend in with the crowd.              The injured were taken to a number of area hospitals, including NYU       Langone of Brooklyn, Kings County Hospital, Methodist Hospital and       Maimonides Hospital, which had five victims with non-life threatening       injuries, a rep confirmed.              During an afternoon news briefing, a visibly angry Gov. Kathy Hochul       decried the bloodshed.              “We say no more — no more mass shootings, no more disrupting lives, no       more creating heartbreak for people just trying to live their lives as       normal New Yorkers. It has to end, and it ends now,” Hochul said.              “We are sick and tired of reading headlines about crime, whether mass       shootings or the loss of a teenage girl or a 13-year-old. It has to stop,”       she continued, adding she is “committing the full resources” of the state       to cut down on crime.              Mayor Eric Adams, who is currently isolated with COVID-19, has been       briefed on the incident and has made all of the city’s resources available       as the investigation continues, a spokesman said.              “While we gather more information, we ask New Yorkers to stay away from       this area for their safety and so that first responders can help those in       need and investigate,” the spokesman said.              Schools in the immediate vicinity are sheltering in place, city education       Chancellor David Banks said in a statement.              “Following the incident this morning in Sunset Park, out of an abundance       of caution and for the safety of our students we have placed all schools       in the area in a shelter-in-place. We are working closely with NYPD and       school leadership to ensure that every school has the supports they need       as we work to ensure the safety of our school communities,” Banks said.              -Additional reporting by Emily Crane, Georgett Roberts, Kevin Sheehan,       Steven Vago and David Meyer              Anyone with information on the shooting should call the NYPD’s Crime       Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS or log onto the CrimeStoppers website.              This is a developing story.
