Multiple people shot, explosives found in New York subway station

Multiple people were shot, at least 13 were injured and undetonated explosive devices were found on Tuesday in a New York City subway station, the New York Fire Department said, according to Reuters.

The incident occurred during the morning commute at the 36th Street subway station in the Sunset Park neighbourhood in Brooklyn, according to media reports. US news broadcasters reported that at least five people were shot, citing sources in the New York Fire Department.

It was not immediately clear whether the number of injured people included those who were shot.

Video footage from the scene showed a massive law enforcement presence around the subway station, including heavily armed officers and dozens of police cruisers and emergency vehicles.

A New York City police spokesperson said that officers were responding to the scene, but did not have details on the number of individuals shot, Reuters reported.

The New York Police Department warned people to stay away from the affected area, which is known for its thriving Chinatown and the Industry City, a sprawling warehouse district that has become home to many creative businesses.
