On the morning of April 12, local time, in the Brooklyn subway station in New York, USA, an African-American man wearing a gas mask fired 33 shots at the crowd after throwing a smoke bomb in the carriage, injuring at least 29 people.
The whereabouts of the suspect are unknown, and police have released his name and photo.
New York City Police Chief Kichant Sewell said at a later briefing that the suspect, a large black man who was wearing a gas mask and a green construction vest, was still at large.
Police said a Glock pistol, three extended magazines, two detonated smoke grenades, two unexploded smoke grenades and an axe were found at the scene.
The suspect's gun jammed during the shooting, preventing more bloodshed.
That night, New York Mayor Adams responded to the shooting at the Brooklyn subway station, saying that the quiet commuter train had become a "war zone". He also sadly blamed the proliferation of gun violence in New York and the United States, saying that governments at all levels in the United States need to take measures to stop similar incidents and end Gun violence requires changes to the relevant laws.
Adams said the quiet commuter train on the morning of the 12th turned into a "war zone" in Brooklyn.
"We saw smoke bombs go off and gunfire." He again blamed gun violence in New York City and across the United States, promising to "continue to build dams to stop violence."
