New York: A tragic incident unfolded at a subway station in the Bronx country in New York on Monday evening, leaving one person dead and five others injured. According to ABC News, the incident occurred around 4:30 p.m. ET at the Mount Eden Avenue station. The New York City Police Department (NYPD) Chief of Transit, Michael M. Kemper, provided details about the shooting at a media briefing later that night.

Upon receiving 911 calls, officers quickly responded to the scene and discovered six individuals who had been shot. Four men and two women were immediately transported to nearby hospitals for medical treatment. Tragically, a 34-year-old man succumbed to his injuries at St. Barnabas Hospital.

Reportedly, at least 10 shots were fired at the Mount Eden Avenue station after a fight between two groups of teenagers broke out inside a train on Monday evening (local time).  Police and witnesses said the shooting created “total pandemonium” inside the police station.
