New York City authorities say three people have been shot, one fatally, in midtown Manhattan near Penn Station. No suspects have been arrested.
It happened around 6 a.m. at the entrance of a subway station at 35th Street and Eighth Avenue, a block north of Penn Station, one of the nation’s busiest transit hubs.
Police say their preliminary investigation indicates that the shooting may have occurred inside the subway station and spilled out onto the street.
Police and fire officials say one person was killed and two others were taken to a hospital in serious condition. One person was shot in the stomach and the other in the leg. Their injuries were not considered life-threatening.
It was not immediately known if the subway lines were affected.
