A 34-year-old man was killed in a shooting that erupted after an altercation between a group of teenagers at a Bronx train station.
One person was killed and five others injured in a shooting at a subway station in New York City, the largest city in the United States, authorities said.
Authorities said a brawl between two groups of teenagers led to gunfire on a train platform in the Bronx on Monday as office workers and students were starting their evening commute.
According to police, a 34-year-old man was killed, a 14-year-old girl, a 15-year-old boy and a 71-year-old man were injured.
Police said they were searching for at least one gunman, although they did not rule out the possibility that more than one person was involved.
“We do not believe this was a random shooting. We do not believe this was just an indiscriminate firing on the train by individuals. This shooting was all started by two groups on the train. We believe this stemmed from a dispute between the parties,” Police Traffic Commissioner Michael Kemper said at a news conference.
Earlier, TV news reported a massive emergency response was underway at the elevated Mount Eden Avenue subway station, about 14 kilometers (9 miles) north of Times Square in Manhattan, with subway trains stopped at the station. They were broadcasting that.

“When the bullet hit the wall, I saw a glow,” Feliciano said. She said, “A woman was holding a child and screaming.''
Although gun violence occurs more frequently in the United States than in other developed countries, New York City is safer than other metropolitan centers, and shootings in the city's subways are rare. be.
