NYPD: Man in critical but stable condition after Brooklyn subway shooting
A man was shot in the head with his own gun inside the busy Hoyt-Schermerhorn subway station on Thursday after an altercation with another rider at the height of rush hour, police said.
The altercation became physical, and the older man displayed a knife or razor blade, authorities said. The train was still moving when the 36-year-old man pulled out a gun, Kemper said. As the train approached the Hoyt-Schermerhorn station, the 32-year-old wrestled it from him and shot the 36-year-old “more than once,” Kemper said.
Police said officers were at the station as the shots rang out and responded immediately. Authorities said the apparent shooter was apprehended before ever exiting the train platform. “People were fearful, not necessarily understanding whether the danger was inside of the train, inside of our specific car or just out on the platform. But where we were on the train, there was nowhere to go and it was a very fearful moment,” she said.shows a train car packed with people cowering on the ground. Some were covering their heads and could be heard crying as unintelligible shouting was heard on the platform.
