“Fire personnel responding to reports of smoke at the 36th Street station in the Sunset Park neighborhood found multiple people shot and undetonated devices, a New York City Fire Department spokesperson said,” AP stated.
“According to a law enforcement source briefed on the investigation, preliminary information indicated a suspect was dressed in construction attire.”
Politically, the timing of this shooting is advantageous to Joe Biden, who a day before pushed for more gun control.
