According to the US "Overseas Chinese News" report, a shooting at the 36th Street Subway Station, Fourth Avenue, Sunset Park, Brooklyn, New York, USA, on the 12th (Tuesday), during the morning rush hour, has caused a shooting case, including Chinese passengers and Chinese Americans. At least 29 people, including students, were injured, 10 of whom were shot.

　　According to police information, the shooting occurred at about 8:24 a.m. on the 12th, on an N-car subway bound for Manhattan.

The fire department was first called to reports of smoke coming out of the 36th Street subway station, and then paramedics arrived to find five people had been shot.

Since then, the number has expanded as various emergency responders rushed to the scene, and by the time of writing, at least 29 people had been injured in the shooting, 10 of whom had been shot.

　　After the incident, multiple live videos reposted on social media showed that when the N train arrived at the 36th Street Station, the train opened the door and smoke came out of the carriage, and people screamed and ran out of the carriage to escape.

Then the injured stumbled out of the carriage either on their own or with the help of others, and some fell directly or fell on the platform.

The video shows that many of the injured at the scene were Chinese passengers and students. Among them, a Chinese student was rescued by firefighters at the stairs of the platform, and another Chinese student was leaning on the iron pillar of the platform, soaked with blood. He removed his left trouser leg, and a non-ethnic man next to him was pressing his wound tightly.

　　After an in-depth investigation, police found shell casings, a pistol, three elongated round magazines and a bag full of smoke bombs and fireworks on the chaotic subway and platforms.
