Police closed an intersection in the Sunset Park neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, after police said multiple people were shot at the 36th Street subway station on April 12. In a press conference at the intersection of 36th Street and 4th Avenue around noon, Laura Kavanagh, acting Commissioner of the FDNY, said there were 16 patients, 10 with gunshot wounds, and five in critical condition. New York City Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell said no known explosive devices had been found in the subway system and the incident was not being investigated as terrorism at the time of the press conference.
