At least 13 people have been shot in an incident during morning rush hour at a New York subway station.

According to local media, shots were fired at the 36th Street station in Sunset Park around 0830 local time (1330 GMT) on Tuesday morning.

Photos from the scene show bloodied passengers lying on the station floor. Undetonated explosive devices were also found on the scene.

The suspected gunman remains on the loose.

Described as a man in an orange construction vest and possibly wearing a gas mask, he is believed to have fled the scene. No motive for his actions has yet been identified.

A spokesman for New York City Mayor Eric Adams called on New Yorkers "to stay away from this area for their safety and so that first responders can help those in need and investigate".

At least four train lines are also said to be delayed in both directions.

New York's fire department told the BBC it originally received a call about smoke inside the station.

But officials arrived to find several people shot and injured.

Police have said there are no active explosive devices inside the station at this time.

A gunman wearing a gas mask and orange construction vest is on the run in Brooklyn after shooting at least five people on a packed subway train in Sunset Park during rush hour on Tuesday.

Shortly before 8.30am, the gunman is believed to have thrown a smoke bomb into a southbound R train at the 25th Street Station in Brooklyn, and started shooting as the doors of the train closed. Five people were shot including one who is now in a serious condition but fire department sources say 13 in total were injured.

The terrified passengers were then trapped until they reached 36th Street, the next stop along. Video shows them spilling out onto the platform as soon as the doors opened.

Some passengers carried wounded victims off the train and lay them on the platform to render aid until help came. Others, fearing for their life, ran away in tears.

Multiple undetonated devices were found at the 36th Street station, according to the FDNY, but the NYPD says none are active - all were smoke devices.

One witness told The New York Post the gunman - who was described as a '5ft 5 black man weighing 170lbs', fired 'too many rounds to count'. It remains unclear what type of weapon he used.

'I thought he was an MTA worker at first because I was like, I didn’t like pay too much attention. You know? You’ve got the orange on,' the witness said.

Here now..in NY state but far from the chaos.
Hope all is well with the victims.

Too bad

Gun violence in America is because all the civilians are armed with dangerous weapons due to second amendment right in their constitution

It says that the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Meniacs are now causing mayhem, chaos and havoc everywhere

pray the wounded get their recovery faster and those gone to rest in peace.

Peace is all we want but I still prefer gun violence than the type of banditry we are having in Nigeria.
