No suspects are in custody yet.

New York Police say that the shooting happened on Tuesday around 8:30 am ET at the 36th Street station in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.

Two smoke grenades were thrown on the floor of a subway train before the man fired what is believed to have been a Glock 9mm handgun 33 times.

An FDNY spokesperson says 16 people have been hospitalised, including five people in critical condition and 10 people suffering from gunshot wounds.

Officials say a gunman wearing a gas mask set off a smoke bomb in the underground station and then opened fire.

The suspect is believed to be wearing a construction uniform.

In chilling footage shared to social media, passengers could be seen running away from the train which had become filled with smoke from the smoke bomb.

Police are searching for the suspect

Local schools have activated a “shelter in place” order, according to a spokesperson for the Education Department.

US President Joe Biden has fronted the media following the rampage, thanking emergency responders for their efforts. He stated that the perpetrator will be found and held accountable.

“Not being investigated as terrorism” – Police say

Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell fronted the media stating that the attack was not being investigated as terrorism, but that she was “not ruling out anything.”

The shooter’s motive remains unknown.

Authorities released a photo they believed to depict the gunman, and the Arizona licence plate number of a U-Haul truck to look out for, two law enforcement officials said.

By early evening, police found a matching, unoccupied U-Haul van in Brooklyn, one of the police members said.
