At least 13 people were shot or otherwise hit by shrapnel on multiple subway stations along the northbound N train line in Brooklyn Tuesday morning.
Now, a manhunt is underway for a gunman described as wearing a gas mask and an orange construction vest.
Four of the victims were found at the 36th Street subway station in Sunset Park and another at the 25th Street station in Greenwood Heights just before 8:30 a.m.
The FDNY says it responded to a call for smoke at the 36th Street and Fourth Avenue station, which serves the D, N and R lines in Sunset Park around 8:30 a.m. and found multiple gunshot victims. No details were immediately available on the devices.
Several law enforcement sources say a man possibly dressed in clothing that resembles those worn by MTA workers threw some sort of device and opened fire.
Some of the wounded jumped on another train to flee to the next station, the sources said.
The NYPD warned New Yorkers to avoid the area and to expect emergency vehicles and delays.
Photos posted to social media showed people bloodied on the platform, and Citizen app footage showed a heavy law enforcement presence at the scene.
The MTA says trains on the D, N and R lines were delayed amid an unspecified investigation.
No other information was immediately available.

This is what happens from the city and it’s taxpayer-funded workers refusing to arrest, charge or prosecute criminals.
Crazy traffic it that area was crazy
Nothing will change until they get rid of bail reform those shlumazels
This would have never happened if Trump was still president and the election wasn’t stolen from him! There wasn’t a single shooting during his presidency, they were all false flags by democrats and globalists. We need Trump now!
Calm down, dude, you need therapy
While I agree that Trump was a better president, you completely discredit yourself by claiming incorrectly that “there wasn’t a single shooting during his presidency.”
Pittsburgh and Poway come to mind…
