One of my greatest worries is this happening on #wmata. Terrible.

BREAKING from ⁦@NYTMetro⁩: Several people were shot on the platform of a Brooklyn subway station during the Tuesday morning rush, officials said.

It is the 36th Street DNR subway in Sunset Park. https://nytimes.com/2022/04/12/nyr

Officials with Metro say there are no known credible threats to D.C.’s mass transit system but they are stepping up patrols as a precaution after several people were shot at a subway platform in New York City Tuesday morning .

“We are monitoring the developing situation in New York,” Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority spokesman Ian Jannetta told WTOP in an email.

“There is no known, specific or credible threat to Metro at this time. Additional K-9 sweeps and patrols are being implemented in the system as a precaution.”

Metro is asking employees and customers to immediately report any suspicious activity to the Metro Transit Police Department by calling 202-962-2121 or texting MY-MPTD (69-6873).
