New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) said Tuesday that the suspect
involved in a New York City subway train car shooting remains at
large.
“This is an active shooter situation,” she said.
New York City Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell said during a
press conference that a suspect, wearing what appeared to be a
gas mask, opened a canister from his bag that filled the train
with smoke and opened fire just before 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday
morning.
Officials said that 16 patients were injured following the
incident, including 10 who had suffered gunshot wounds. Five
victims were described as being in critical but stable condition.
Sewell said that the incident was not currently being
investigated as an act of terrorism. Officials noted there were
no known explosive devices on the city’s trains currently.
Officials described the suspect as a Black man wearing a “green
construction type vest and a hooded sweatshirt.”
Hochul decried the violence, calling the suspect “so
coldhearted,” demanding an end to the gun violence and
describing crime in the city as an “insanity that is seizing our
city.”
“No more mass shootings. No more disrupting lives,” Hochul said.
“It has to end. It ends now, and we are sick and tired of
reading headlines about crime whether they’re mass shootings or
the loss of a teenage girl or a 13-year-old. It has to stop,”
she added.
Hochul noted she was in communication with New York City Mayor
Eric Adams (D), who was not at the press conference given his
recent COVID-19 diagnosis. Officials are set to give another
update on the situation later on Tuesday.
The incident comes one day after President Biden announced a ban
on ghost guns, or unlicensed gun manufacturing kits.
