NEW YORK — A gunman donned a gas mask, detonated a smoke canister and opened fire on a New York City subway train Tuesday morning, shooting 10 people and sparking panic during the rush-hour commute.
Twenty-nine victims went to Brooklyn hospitals with various injuries. Five people are in critical but stable condition.
According to a police official, the suspect was seen mumbling to himself before he put on the gas mask, released a smoke canister commonly bought online and opened fire with a .380 caliber handgun. "I didn't see anything because the smoke in the train was so thick. I couldn't even see halfway down the length of the train car," he added.
Montano said the doors opened at 36th Street about three to four minutes later."As soon as the doors opened, everyone started to pour out and run," he recalled. The NYPD has put out a citywide alert for a U-Haul vehicle with license plate AL31408 that may be associated with the suspect, according to police sources.
