Terror on a Brooklyn subway platform this Tuesday morning as a masked gunman shot multiple people before fleeing on foot. Details about the shooter or his motivations remain sketchy at this hour but we will update as we can.
Video and photos are being shared online, and Fox News aired some this morning, along with the other networks and outlets. Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino have reported and continue to report that there were explosive devices either used or found at the scene. It is reported there are multiple shooting victims but so far no video of any shots being fired, and witnesses that have been able to talk to cable news were not witnesses to the shots being fired, but instead were on the platform or coming out of other cars.

That footage is from the scene right after. This one starts right as the doors are opening.

The following is a GRAPHIC photo but these individuals are not deceased. I would not post dead body photos knowingly.

Fox’s latest report is as many as 7 shot, up to 15 injured.
UPDATE: Fox News gives description of shooter as a “five foot five black man. He was wearing a gas mask and some sort of construction vest at the time of this incident.”
UPDATE 2: Several people who were on the train have called in to the cable news channels. A lot of them are saying it sounded like fireworks not gunshots.
UPDATE 3: In this video from an adjacent car you can hear the shots but can’t see much.
