Transit agencies in the San Francisco Bay Area were on alert Tuesday after a gunman shot several people on a New York subway platform.
The shooting occurred at the 36th Street Station around 8:34 a.m. eastern after a man wearing a gas mask and a construction vest set off a smoke grenade in a subway train when it arrived at the station. He then opened fire, hitting 10 subway riders and injuring 16 total.New York authorities said they were still searching for the shooter hours later. While they have not called the attack terrorism, they have also not ruled it out.
Following the shooting, Bay Area Rapid Transit announced that its police force was on high alert, patrolling stations and trains. Police Chief Ed Alvarez released this statement: “BART Police are in direct contact with federal authorities and at this time there is no credible threat to California. Nonetheless, BART Police will continue to conduct high visibility patrols through trains and stations and will use our system of more than 4,000 cameras to monitor the system. Riders are encouraged to report suspicious activity.
BART is recovering from an earlier problem. There is a major delay on the San Francisco Line in the SFO, Millbrae, Daly City and East Bay directions due to police activity.
