Breaking: Police sources tell CBS2 the gun used in the subway mass shooting jammed and still had bullets in it. Police believe the gunman ditched it after it jammed. A backpack with smoke bombs, fireworks, and a hatchet has been recovered.
CBS2's Leah Mishkin spoke with several witnesses on the scene in Sunset Park. "I see people running in and out of the subway, going this way or that way... I just stood back," one Sanitation worker said."When I saw the bomb squads and the helicopters, I knew it had to be serious." Another witness had just dropped her 10-year-old brother off at school when she was caught in the chaos.
"Coming up the stairs, I saw and I smelled a lot of smoke. And coming up the stairs I saw maybe a 16-year-old that was shot in the knee. You can clearly see the bullet in his knee," she said."I saw two more victims that were injured. They were wounded on their knee and on their thighs." Others who live in the neighborhood said they were shaken that something like this could happen so close to home.
"I started seeing some of the people come up from the subway stop over there, which is my stop, and they were coming out, and some people were covered in blood on their hands, their masks still in their hands, and scrapes on their faces," one man said."Then I noticed more and more police presence, and ambulances and fire trucks."
"Nobody was looking around to see what was going on, just moving away, not looking back," another man added.
