>> this is sunset park, brooklyn. that's from where they are, a 20- to 30-minute ride into manhattan. this is obviously rush hour is when this would have happened. that train was probably packed with commuters heading into either downtown brooklyn or beyond into lower manhattan. so certainly that would have been a crowded train. reports of some sort of explosion or fire followed by gunshots. we do not, again, repeat, do not have any information from the nypd or fdny in terms of any fatalities. i anticipate there will be briefings soon. this is the scenario where new york city mayor would normally be on the scene, eric adams, but tested positive for coronavirus. unclear if he could do so to provide a briefing. perhaps the deputy mayor of the police in the hours to come. no arrests or suspects in custody yet. we can see an image here. 4th avenue is a major street in brooklyn. that subway station is busy. three lines run through there. an overwhelming police and fire response right now. >> willie, last week, the end of l

we continue to monitor the situation on the ground in sunset park in brooklyn.o where new york police are about to brief the media on this morning. what are you seeing on the ground. what you hearing? >> so far we still have very few details on what happened. how any people were actually injured. but reports say the subway has pulled up to the station in brooklyn and what happened was the smoke had already filled the train car when it pulled up. as many as 13 people were injured and then sheer panic and that's really where you saw a lot more injuries. we have reports of his many as five people shot, two people in critical condition. you're still waiting for the official numbers from the nypd, but so far we know that's what's happening and we also have reports early on from the fire department as well coming out saying there were some on detonated devices. the nypd has since cleared the area saying there were no active explosions but so far that is all we know. guy: was there an explosion the took place? as you say, the train pulls in, it was filled with smoke. a

all occurred in a subway station of sunset park, brooklyn. the key factor is the shooter remains at-large. romaine: we heard from the police commissioner a while ago. they said it is not being investigated as an act of terrorism although they are not ruling that out. she said about the suspect who, according to her, boarded the train at some point manhattan bound, donda gas mask and opened a canister of some point. a the train began to fill with smoke and at some pointl thati suspect began shooting. it came to a stop just across the river from manhattan. we are told people exit

what will people have been injured in the subway station there at sunset park. we will continue to keep you updated. this took place at roughly a: 30 a.m. this morning. a number of lines have been closed as a result. we understand that there is an increased police presence in a number of stations in the new york area. as i say, we will continue to keep you updated as we get more information and the scene develops in brooklyn. let's get back and talk a little more about the data i want to bring your attention to today. the cpi data out for the united states, coming through the headline number 8.5 percent. that core number is a little bit better than maybe some people had anticipated and certainly a little bit of good news maybe for the administration. what may be surprising is the extent we've seen today and the records we have seen. stocks are up. yields are lower. with the director of portfolio strategy to give us her sense of what is happening here. you think we're getting near to the peak of inflation and, if so, what does that mean for investors? >> i think

yeah, well, this is sunset park- _ new york while? yeah, well, this is sunset park.ve just been reflecting on this shooting because ever since the new mayor took office and really put the focus on public safety, you know, i've been speaking with new york areas and other high crime areas where they have noticeably experienced this rise in shootings that we keep talking about that is affecting new york, but sunset park is largely shielded from any of that, so add to the fact that there is no real understanding of why it happened here and in sunset park and the fact that this was the first mass indiscriminate shooting in a number of years, and you really do have new yorkers visibly shaken and by this event. it's a bit cliche we always say new yorkers are resilient coming to conceding see behind me they are, traffic is moving, people are going back to their daily routine, but i think this will for sure underscore at the debate about public safety here. thank you very much indeed for — safety here. thank you very much indeed for that _ safety here. thank you very much ind

-- 36th street and sunset park station. a shooter had opened a smoke canister in a train car when it was still underneath the ground. when doors opened, as many as 16 people were injured. the shooter has remained at large. and people shot, five critically injured -- 10 people shot, back critically --five critically injured. haidi: what do we know about the security situation and how that has changed? reporter: we should start off with simply the location. for the international audience, this particular station is en route to the manhattan area and wall street area where a lot of commuters from residential areas in brooklyn make their way into manhattan. and essentially the financial district. so to see this hub in particular targeted is crucial. the subway station is where you see a lot of lines, a lot of commuters cross into different parts -- [siren] -- also on the scene of the crime, investigators found not only a jammed gun with a high-caliber magazine which is the way that guns can have more rounds than normal. also gu

at a subway station in sunset park area, brooklyn new york. the 36th street station mit is not confirmed this. we have been told various different sources that at least 5 people were shocked at least 2 critical condition. and why p d just saying multiple people shot at this juncture. and the shooter still very much at large and a massive man underway the new york city gave. well, there were also reports of smoke at the particular station. what do we know about that? are these confirmed reports or is the n y p g? not going with that. whenever there's a shooting like this, there's always going to be various bits of information that come out from eye witnesses or people that were there that think they saw something or think they heard something. and then those reports spread very quickly. in this case, initially, there were reports of some sort of smoke and or maybe a canister of some kind that perhaps the suspect might have grown during the incident that immediately led to all sorts of speculation. various departments, nypd responding to the sce

i want to go to the congresswoman nadia velasquez who represents sunset park.ing. your reactions? what are you seeing? >> this is a horrible, horrible thing to wake up to. it is heartbreaking. my heart and my prayers to the entire hardworking community of sunset park and all of the families who have been impacted by this horrible crime. >> congresswoman, tell us a bit about the area of sunset park and the brooklyn area where this was carried out. >> it is a very tight immigrant community. it's very diverse. newcomers that moved into the district. for the most part, asian and latino immigrants. very hardworking people. very -- you know, it has gone through so much from all the rhetoric regarding immigration and kids being afraid of coming home and not finding their parents at home. it is just unbelievable. it is really very distressing. i think getting a lot of messages or prayers -- we need to get guns off the street. congress has a responsibility to pass legislation that will in so many ways prevent guns from getting into the hands of bad actors. >> congresswo

what can you tell us from there in sunset park? >> reporter: they just opened up the streets here so now traffic can go through. it had been closed all morning since the shooting. a couple of pieces of information for you, one from a source at the mta, who is telling me what they do not know is whether the suspect fled within the subway tunnels or if the suspect left and walked up the stairs and fled on the street. what they're doing right now is going from subway to subway to subway, station to station to station, forgive, they're going this way because he was on the northbound line, and they are looking at all of the surveillance video they can to see, to try to determine if they can catch a glimpse of this person within the subway tunnels. they don't know, again, whether he fled underground or up here. they're also doing the same thing with all the surveillance video on the street. they've talked to multiple witnesses, and so far not a single one of them can give them a clear indication where this suspect went, what direction th

. >> tell me a little bit about sunset park brooklyn. >> yeah. >> sunset park brooklyn extremely diverse, mostly a latino and chinese community. here in brooklyn, mostly immigrant families that have gone through a lot, actually, here in new york city. but if you want to talk about like character and just really what brooklyn is about, then you go to sunset park. you'll see the best, you know, central and south american food, the best chinese food. a very proud people. and it's a community that has folks that have been living there for 50, 60 years. it truly is spectacular. and if you see the assistance that many of these folks on this train car were providing to the people that were injured, it's just a reflection, not only of sunset park in brooklyn, but all of new york. it's just folks are not scared to help out their peers. they've come together very quickly, and sunset park has already asked us if there's anything they can do to be helpful to the victims, that we do it. and it's almost like we can't even help sunset park, because they're already helping others. it's an extraordinary

caroline: we want to get back out on the ground in brooklyn, sunset park to be exact. gupta has been doing hour after hour of live reporting for us, extraordinary stamina. tell us a little bit about what it is the news we await to hear? kriti: minutes after we spoke you heard an a.p. alert, reporting the u-haul they were tracking with a arizona license plate has been spotted in brooklyn and the bomb squad has been sent and that's the reason for the delay on the presser in the police commissioner's view you're expecting to hear soon. one of the big question mark is how is the van connected to the shooter and hasn't been clear or made clear by authorities but simply that that was something they were looking for and the motive hasn't been made clear and are all things we expect to hear at the press conference in addition to who was affected. 16 was the last number we got but since then reports are nearly double. romaine: as far as the evidence being collected here we heard the associated press report about the van and don't know how it's connected to the crime itself but

so, clint, this happened on a subway station here in sunset park, brooklyn, not a heavily frequented unless you happen to live here. this is not times square or a place where tourists normally go. it happened on a manhattan-bound train. i think a lot of people when they think of getting on the train they worry about the bigger stations, times square, battery park, those areas that would feel like targets. what does it say to you this happened 25 minutes outside of manhattan in a mostly residential neighborhood? >> yeah, katy, what's fascinating from this entire investigation so far you learn more details. you really learn kind of what it isn't. essentially this isn't -- doesn't seem to be, at least on the surface, a terrorism motivated, politically, soes logically, something ideologically around religion. usually they go after spectacular targets, what woe used to think of in terms of midtown manhattan, like you said. separately it also just points to there was premeditation around this which is unusual but usually if it's tied to a cause we would know that by now. there might have b

the shooting occurred in the working class neigorhood of sunset park, which has a large latinx and asian immigrant population. police have identified a 62-year-old man named frank james as a person of interest in the mass shooting. investigators say the gunman left behind a bag on the train carrying fireworks, a hatchet, and two gas canisters indicating he might have been plotting a broader attack. they also found a u-haul key. new york governor kathy hochul spoke outside the train station tuesday. >> the people of the entire state of new york stand with the people of this community and say no more. no more mass shootings. no more disrupting lives. no more creating heartbreak for people just trying to live their lives as normal new yorkers. it has to end and it ends now. amy: the brooklyn attack is just one of several mass shootings that have occurred irecent days. on sunday, two people died and 10 were injured in a shooting at a nightclub in cedar rapids iowa. in indiana, six people were shot, including one fatally, at a birthday party sunday in indianapolis. and four people, including

the shooting happened on a subway line that runs through brooklyn sunset park neighborhood. that's about a 15 minute train ride down to manhattan, and it shut down transit lines throughout that area, so this forced commuters to turn to uber or lyft and triggered a surge pricing. both companies later suspended their search pricing our coverage of the brooklyn subway shooting continues online. you can visit ktvu dot com where you'll find the latest developments right on our homepage. the omicron sub variant b a two is still the dominant strain in the us the c. d. c. says it now accounts for 86% of covid cases in the country and more than 90% in the northeastern us where cases are on the rise. the national seven day average of new coronavirus cases is up nearly 10% to more than 28,000. the positive news is that scientists say vaccines are offering strong protection against severe illness and death . california senator alex padilla was in san francisco today to detail new federal funding for sfm to and bart. senator badia was joined by mayor lyndon breed at the powell street, ba

it's all unfolding in brooklyn's sunset park, which is close to a school. several law enforcement sources say a man, possibly dressed in clothing that resembled those worn by an mta worker, threw some sort of device and then opened fire. we have a live look at the scene. you see it here. all the law enforcement and emergency personnel there. police say several undetonated devices were found at the same location as the shooting. the atf and joint terrorism task force are arriving. new york city police warn new yorkers to avoid the area and expect emergency vehicles and delays. we are reaching out locally to b.a.r.t. and sfmta to see if they're adding any extra security as a precaution. i should note we are getting no reports of anything happening in the bay area. these are live pictures from new york city where you're seeing someone open fire on the new york city transit system, injuring multiple people. at least five were shot. >>> something affecting us across the country, new inflation numbers are out and the prices are climbing at the fastest rate. this

how how close to the scene is methodist hospital to the sunset park location of 36 street. >> and it's really hard to because we came here from manhattan. but any of the hospitals that they were brought 2 are in the really general vicinity. however, there is one fact might tell us how seriously injured or not some of the victims are because kings county hospital is the trauma center for this area. and according to the fbi and no one has been brought there just as we see more people possibly being brought here to the hospital. you know, it's it's tough to tell this time because, of course, this is an emergency room and people are being brought here all the time. usually, though, if we're seeing that uany victims from the subway are coming here, it's typically followed by a police cruiser escort. and that's not the case with this ambulance here this so those are really the telltale signs of of who's being treated from what seen. all right. anthony, thank you so much for that update. let's thank you so much for that check in update. let's c >> katie corrado who is live on heckthe ground a

we're going to take a live look at a still very active scene in sunset park, brooklyn. we don't know the conditions of all of the victims right now, since it's still unfolding. at a university hospital says they have eight patients. they're in stable condition. fox reporters have confirmed. two others are in critical condition somewhere else. firefighters responded to reports of smoke at a subway station around nine a.m. on the east coast and discovered multiple people had been shot. we saw commotion. we saw a cop cars pulling up, so we were concerned. we're going to go outside and check out what's going on. but we didn't actually go downstairs, which were god, we didn't but you know, we saw ambulances coming out with a structure with a person on it. there was injured. i'm not sure exactly what went on and what was going on. and then we saw after that two ambulance coming out to people like hopping on monday. ambulances are still at the scene. trying to remove people from that area in the swat team is also still there. police are telling people to avoid the area. many o

this is the sunset park neighborhood.n they arrived they found multiple people shot, undetonated devices. that again according to the fire department. also law enforcement sources briefed on the matter say preliminary information indicate the suspect was dressed in some sort of construction attire. how significant that could be. a construction worker heading into the city. a lot of construction on the island of manhattan. it appeared to be going northbound into manhattan >> dana: could have been a disguise. >> bill: there were people the ending bloody passengers lying on the floor of the station. looked like three people in the shot were in that picture i should say had been shot or affected from this. further details not immediately available. the new york police department say they are responding to reports of people wounded by either gunfire or an explosion. that will be important, too, when the press conference becomes available. train service in that station delayed during the morning rush hour. you can imagine that

his motive is unclear but no indication yet why james targeted the particular subway stop in sunset park neighborhood but in now deleted youtube videos, james discussed violence talking about death in a race war and the desire to exterminate certain groups of people. new york's asian-american federation called tuesday's shooting trama in a neighborhood is what makes new york city great noting it's home to brooklyn's china town and a large hispanic population in multi racial working class neighborhood. joining me now is congresswoman velasquez that represents the district where the shooting took place. having lived in new york and born in brooklyn, i'm sensitive to this idea there was a time in new york when walking around as a black person in certain areas you just felt afraid whether it was of police or other people in neighborhoods, you're talking about that era when those kind of things happen in places like howard beach, et cetera but now you know asian-americans are feeling particularlymuity is ca brooklyn's china town. it's 35.6% hispanic. and 34.8% asian. how that is resinating th

he then shot multiple passengers as the train pulled into the 36th street station in sunset park ten people were injured by gunfire and an additional 13 were either injured sass they rushed to get out of the train station or they suffered smoke inhalation some good news is that none of the injuries appear to be life threatening. as detectives process the crime scene, they recovered a .9 millimeter semi-automatic handgun, extended magazines and a hatchet. also found is a liquid we believe to be gasoline, consumer fireworks and a hobby fuse about an hour ago police found a u-haul van at this time we do not know the suspect's motivation clearly this individual boarded the train and was intent on violence we are conducting a highly coordinated investigation that includes nypd detectives, the fbi nypd joint terrorism task force and atf. the suspect is a dark skinned male wearing a neon orange vest and a gray colored sweatshirt. we have a person of interest in this investigation we're asking anyone with information to call crime stoppers, 800-577-tips we know this is a grave concern to new

he then shot multiple passengers as the train pulled into the 36 street station in sunset park. as detectives process the crime scene, they recovered a nine millimeter semiautomatic handgun, extended magazines, and a hatchet. also found is what we believe to be gasoline and a bag containing consumer grade fireworks and a hobby fuse. an hour ago, detectives located a u-haul van in brooklyn that we believe is connected to the suspect. at this time we still do not know the suspects motivation. clearly, this individual boarded the train and was intent on violence. we do have a person of interest in this investigation but we need the public assistance with additional information. >> so the person of interest is a development just in the last ten or 15 minutes or so. the nypd releasing a name and photo of this person. he's 62 years old frank james with addresses in wisconsin and philadelphia. officials believe he is the man who rented the u-haul van. you heard the commissioner mention. they are an offering on a word of $50,000 for information about his whereabouts. the shooting happen

brooklyn, just before the train was about to enter a station at 36 street in the neighborhood of sunset park, brooklyn. an individual who was on board the train, put on with the nypd said appeared to be a gas mask. the suspect then tossed two smoke grenades which filled the train car would smoke. to senior law officials told msnbc that those bags and the contents are believed to be tied to the suspect. you can see some of what appears to be fireworks there, these bags contain more smoke grenades that were not detonated, commercial grade fireworks and some fuses. again, these are thought to be linked to the suspect, they were recovered at the scene. according to police after he put on a gas mask and he threw those smoke grenades, the suspect then started shooting. he fired a glock 9 millimeter semiautomatic handgun at least 33 times. 33 times, because 33 discharge shell casings were found at the scene, along with a nine millimeter pistol which appears to have jammed, and high capacity magazines, including one that was inserted in the gun when they found it. you can see from the cell phone vid

this all happened at the 36th street station in the sunset park neighborhood of brooklyn. that's where cnbc's valerie castro is tonight. she's tracking the manhunt while we wait for that news conference to begin. valerie, to you. >> the latest development in this tonight is that police believe they may have found a u- haul truck in connection with the suspect. they were searching for it throughout the day. they said it had arizona license plates. they believe they may have found it about five miles from this location in another brooklyn neighborhood. of course they still haven't announced that they have found the subject, but earlier today law enforcement did recover a gun from inside the subway station. this is where that shooting happened. they say it was jammed, possibly preventing further tragedy. >> reporter: during the morning rush-hour, what happened on a brooklyn subway train suddenly came into view. >> it was nothing like fire, it was a lot different than what the smell of fire is, andi thought maybe a 16-year-old kid, he was sitting on the step, coming out of the

he is still at large after the incident this morning on a subway station in sunset park. as we await, we just had an update from the spokesperson for new york governor kathy hochul. >> we are going to hear from police commissioner of the city of new york civil. -- sewell. ken cori, ed savon, james will update us on the investigation. we also have assistant director in charge of the fbi in charge of the new york office mike driscoll and the jt tf efforts with nypd ongoing as well as special agent in charge of the atf, john devido. we will begin with a word from eric adams. >> he is talking but we cannot hear the mayor. shery: you are looking at my pictures of the nypd trying to give an update on the shootings this morning. it seems they have encountered some technical difficulties there yet but you see the podium right there. the police commissioner will also be briefing us alongside the new york city mayor eric adams who will be joining through a live feed given that he is isolating due to covid-19. we are now awaiting more details on the shooting. we know 16 people were
