Shooting in NYC subway.

[LuFins Dad]

I’m confused, did the shootings happen in the car before the doors opened?

[jon-nyc]

Yes. A guy in the car put on a gas mask, released some sort of smoke or gas to cloud visibility, then shot randomly around the car

[jon-nyc]

29 injured

This is still considered an active shooter situation, nearby schools are being told to shelter-in-place.

Also, do you think it might make sense for a bit more of a description than “larger man, green vest”… White? Black? Hispanic? Asian? Indeterminate? Old? Young? Middle aged? Bears? Clean shaven? Scruff?

[jon-nyc]

I think either they didn’t get a good look because of the gas mask or they know he’s black or Hispanic and don’t want to say.

If they knew he was white, we’d know.

You seem to be coming increasingly conservative in your old age... has anyone else mentioned this?

It's still up in the air whether he'll vote Trump in 2024, should he run.

And I bet we’ll collectively forget his name before we forget Rittenhouse’s name…

I had forgotten it. Now you've bloody reminded me again.

It is probably Chris Rock.

Mayor of New York just referred to him as a "dark-skinned male."

Not only is he a biologist, he's not color blind.

Look away! Look away!!!

So I’m on the go and haven’t seen the details, but did the shooter do this IN a train car? Or only on the platform when it stopped?

If the former, this is one of a billion things
lone wolves can do in the world, unfortunately.

It's astonishing how little damage motivated idiots are actually capable of doing.
