Shooting in NYC subway.

Crazy shit.

10 people shot (none fatally, from what I gather) and the suspect is still at large.

There’s video from inside the car in this NYT piece.

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

I think most are smoke inhalation? I don’t see how this guy got off the train without being apprehended. People in the cars in front and behind obviously knew…

[jon-nyc]

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.

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

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