·Police officers in tactical gear arrive at the scene of a shooting at a subway station in the Brooklyn borough of New York City on Tuesday morning.
Five people were in critical condition but expected to survive. At least 29 in all were treated in hospital for gunshot wounds, smoke inhalation and other conditions. Police were closing off a street about six kilometres from the shooting scene and clearing nearby businesses while awaiting a bomb squad and the highly specialized emergency services unit.

Danny Mastrogiorgio of Brooklyn had just dropped off his son at school when he saw a crush of passengers, including multiple wounded, running up the subway stairway at the 25th Street station in panic. At least two had visible leg injuries, he said.Police officers were canvassing Fourth Avenue, the station's cross-street, asking witnesses whether they were on the train. A sea of emergency lights was visible from at least a dozen blocks away, where a police cordon was set up.
