From Tuesday's attack in a Brooklyn station that left 10 people shot and even more injured, to Bernie Goetz shooting four Black teens in 1984 after an alleged robbery attempt, NYC's mass transit system has been a repeat setting for violence over the years
On Dec. 11, 2017, at approximately 7:20 a.m., Akayed Ullah, 31, of Brooklyn, New York, and a lawful permanent resident of Bangladesh, detonated a pipe bomb strapped to his chest in a subway station near the busy Port Authority Bus Terminal in midtown Manhattan. One commuter who was inside the station when the pipe bomb was detonated suffered a shrapnel wound to his leg, and two other victims partly lost their hearing as a result of the blast.
Ferguson was convicted on six murder charges and 19 attempted murder charges. He was acquitted of 25 counts of civil rights violations on charges that accused Ferguson, who was Black, of targeting the victims based on their race. The people killed and injured were of multiple races.Thirty-eight years ago, a man shot four Black teens on the 2 train in Manhattan at a time of widespread crime in the city, sparking a nationwide debate on racism, gun control, and safety.
