Digital Desk: Several people have been shot at in a subway station in Brooklyn, New York, today.

Meanwhile, local media reported that the shooter is still active in the area.
Reportedly, explosives were found at the attack spot, which occurred during the morning rush hour at 8:30 am. Moreover, trains have been delayed due to the incident.
The New York Police Department (NYPD) tweeted, "Due to an investigation, avoid the area of 36th Street and 4th Avenue area in Brooklyn. Expect emergency vehicles and delays in the surrounding area."

"Regarding the multiple people shot at the 36th Street subway station in Brooklyn, there are NO active explosive devices at this time. Any witnesses are asked to call @NYPDTips at #800577TIPS. Please stay clear of the area. More provided information when available," NYPD wrote in another Tweet.
Meanwhile, several Twitter users indicated this could be a terror attack; however, the authorities are yet to confirm about the incident.
According to NY1 News, the suspect was dressed in a construction worker uniform and wore a gas mask.
Meanwhile, NBC, citing NYPD officials and senior law enforcement officials, said that a man wearing a gas mask and orange construction vest may have thrown a smoke canister onto the platform to distract the rush hour crowd.
While as per the Gun Violence Archive website, mass casualty shootings frequently occur in the United States, where firearms are involved in approximately 40,000 deaths per year, including suicides.
The incident occurred just one day after US President Joe Biden announced new gun control measures, including tighter restrictions on "ghost guns," difficult-to-trace weapons that can be built at home.
Lax gun laws and a constitutionally guaranteed right to bear arms have repeatedly thwarted efforts to reduce the number of weapons in circulation, despite widespread support for stricter controls.
Reportedly, guns are used in three-quarters of all homicides in the United States, and the number of pistols, revolvers and other firearms sold is increasing day by day.
