People rush out of a metro train in New York's Brooklyn subway
Several people were shot at in a subway in New York's Brooklyn today. Of the several videos on social media on the attack, one shows the moment when the attack took place.
In this video, several people are seen running out of a metro coach, which is filled with thick smoke.
Local media reports said the suspect likely used a smoke cannister to distract the commuters before shooting them, which appear to be the case as seen in this video.
RT News tweeted the commuters rushed out of the coach "with (the) gasmask-wearing gunman".
In a span of one minute, the entire coach gets empty as panic-stricken people ran out. Once they are on the platform, a few of them are seen falling on the floor. Then there is blood everywhere. The smoke from the coach drifts out to the entire platform.
At least 13 people were injured during the rush-hour shooting. Local authorities said "several undetonated devices" were recovered amid chaotic scenes.
The White House said President Joe Biden had been briefed on the incident and was in communication with New York officials.
New York governor Kathy Hochul tweeted that first responders were on the scene and promised regular updates as the investigation unfolds.
