According to a report by the AP news agency, one person was killed and five people were injured in a subway station in New York. The incident occurred on Monday afternoon shortly after 4:30 p.m. (local time).
Accordingly, two groups of young people got into an argument that resulted in deadly violence. According to local media reports, one or two people opened fire on passengers waiting on the platform at Mount Eden Avenue subway station. The injured were taken to hospital.
"We do not believe this was a random shooting," New York Police Chief Michael Kemper said at a news conference.
At the station in the northern Bronx district, 14 kilometers north of Times Square in Manhattan, the subway runs above ground. Television images captured by a drone showed a stationary train and plainclothes police and investigators.
