Rush Hour Bloodshed
At least 16 people were injured, including eight who were shot, when a suspect set off a smoke grenade and unleashed gunfire on a Brooklyn subway train during Tuesday morning rush hour, the NYPD and law-enforcement sources told The Post.
The gunman — possibly disguised as an MTA construction worker and wearing a gas mask — launched his bloody assault around 8:30 a.m. on a Manhattan-bound N train at the 36th Street station in Sunset Park, where authorities later discovered several undetonated devices, FDNY and police said.

GOPUSA Editor: Both the NY Post and Fox News will be updating multiple stories on their news sites. Please come back and discuss what you hear.
Remember that these are early reports and may be incorrect. There was a report from someone on the scene that the suspect was male, 5’5″ tall, black and wearing an orange vest. The vest color has changed to green with a gray sweatshirt and a mask. My point is these are early eyewitness reports and may or may not be correct.

Keep letting more illegal immigrants and visa overstayers into our country without being vetted and we can expect more of these attacks. I am hoping I am wrong.
AND what’s the bet, HE WAS A KNOWN FELON who was recently released or the like..
Stay tuned for a Biden press conference pushing for more gun control laws.
Coming on the heels of what happened in CA and that other city this weekend, you can take it to the bank, they will use this to try and UTTERLY gut our gun rights.
You can bet that these attacks are going to keep on going till the satan worshipping DEMONcrats get what they want, and what they want is a total disarmament of the people. The satan worshipping DEMONcrats are more hateful of our rights than anything else anyone can ever think of, they will do anything they can to strip us of our not just our rights but our freedoms as well. We have full on acting dictator in the w/h and has proven how much he really hates not just the CONSTITUTION but everything it stands for. The biden admin will do so much more to cause even more trouble for the nation. He is going to cause another war just to prove he is right about everything. The biden has also proved that he is suffering from all the effects of alzheimers.
AND with the utter dreks we have currently on the Scotus, you can bet THEY WILL LET HIM DO so!
Please do not waste resources chasing this guy who will be back out on the subways within hours. No bail laws allow this to happen. Better yet lay off a few cops to save money.
In releasing the description of the subway shooter, the leftist mainstream media outlets have gone out of their way to hide the fact that the shooter is a Black man. Obviously, being politically correct is more important to these leftists than providing the public with an accurate description that will help the police apprehend this violent individual and possibly save lives.
Some of the toughest anti gun laws in the country along with the fewest cops for a large population and New York is suppose to be soooooo safe. LOL!!!!
AND what’s the point in all those damn security cameras, If they are just going to be TURNED OFF??
The authorities haven’t called this a terrorist attack but the D OJ called parents protesting at school boardsTerrorists.
HE could have literally shouted “DEATH TO THE INFIDEL” while chanting Alluah ackbar.. AND THE useless DOJ would still refuse to have labeled it a terror attack.
whats this i see? an angry black man shooting innocents?
Hush- hush about that … if it doesn’t fit the ANTIFA – BLM narrative.
