NYPD Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell said the subway incident is not being investigated as an act of terror.
The suspect — described as a black male who if 5’5″ with a heavy build, wearing a green-type construction vest and a hooded sweatshirt — donned what appeared to be a gas mask, took a cannister out of his bag and opened it, then the train began to fill with smoke, Sewell explained.
“He then opened fire, striking multiple people on the subway and in the platform,” she said.
“This is an active-shooter situation right now in the city of New York,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) told reporters.
She said the suspect “is still on the loose. This person is dangerous. We’re asking individuals to be very vigilant and alert.”
