Multiple people shot at New York subway station

<strong>Multiple people were shot at a subway station in New York's Brooklyn on Tuesday (local time), the city fire department said.</strong></p>

Preliminary reports indicated that five people were shot, a law enforcement official said. The police were seeking a man with a gas mask and an orange construction vest, the official said, reported The New York Times.
