Tunkel was in the subway car where the shooting took place and described the scene as chaotic. Claire Tunkel, 46, told CNN she took off her jacket and tied it around the leg of a man who suffered a gunshot wound. The man then let off a "smoke bomb" and started shooting about 20 seconds after the train took off, Benkada said. He explained the bullet hit him in the back of his knee and came out the other side. He is believed to be the renter of the U-Haul and has addresses in both Wisconsin and Philadelphia, Essig said. "You could feel the bodies." An individual is seen helping an injured and bleeding person off the train and another man is seen hobbling off the train shortly afterward. Smoke pours out of the car where the shooting took place, and people can be heard screaming. Doctors told him the bullet grazed his kneecap. "Mr. James is just a person of interest we know right now who rented that U-Haul van in Philadelphia," Essig said. We don't know right now if Mr. James has any connection to the subway. Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell said there were no known active explosive devices on the train.

Perez was standing outside his building with neighbors. Police later said none were “active explosive devices”.

She credited the decrease in the homicide rates to a surge of arrests. Yet it remains far safer than in previous years, and crime is lower than in many of the nation’s largest cities. Days later, a 61-year-old woman was killed after she was struck by a stray bullet in the Bronx. And, last month, a 3-year-old toddler was shot in the shoulder outside a Brooklyn daycare. The man, inspired by the Islamic State, was convicted and sentenced to life in prison last year. In February, Mr. Adams and Gov. Kathy Hochul announced a new subway safety plan to encourage riders to return. New York City’s emergency messaging service sent out a notice at 11 a.m. warning people to avoid the entire area, from 20th to 40th Streets between Third and Fifth Avenues, normally a bustling residential zone. Transit officials suspended service on the B and W lines and parts of the D, N and R lines because of the investigation. Mr. Adams said in a recent interview that his mayoralty will be judged on public safety, which he was working to improve. Mr. Adams, a former police officer, has sought to reassure residents and has made tackling gun crime a central focus of his administration. Mr. Adams, 61, announced on Sunday that he had tested positive for the virus on his 100th day in office. The increase comes after gun violence hit historic lows in 2018 and 2019, and the city still remains safer than in previous years. Videos posted on social media showed panicked riders pouring from a train and onto a platform at 36th Street as smoke billowed through the station.
