The NYPD warned New Yorkers to avoid the area and to expect emergency vehicles and delays. Power was shut off on the N/R Line from 59 Street to Atlantic Avenue and major delays were reported on the B, D, F, N, Q and R lines. W service is suspended.
No trains were stuck in between stations, officials said. However, the shooting led to widespread chaos amongst New Yorkers during the morning commute, and into the afternoon, as they tried to make sense of what was going on. With this in mind, the New York City Unified Victim Identification System was activated in response to the NYPD activity located near 36th Street and 4th Avenue in Brooklyn.
If you are concerned about the welfare of someone who may have been affected by the event and are unable to contact them, please call 311. From outside of NYC, you may call 212-639-9675.
