Brooklynites Hurt in the Subway Shooting
This morning the N Train, which has the mass shooting, was coming from South Brooklyn. Many of the people that were hurt are from our area.
There were 21 adults that were treated at NYU Langone. Sixteen people were treated and released. Five people still remain at the hospital for treatment.
Maimonides Hospital has a pediatric unit, so the five children were brought to 4802 – 10th Avenue. The students were ages 12 – 18.
The 12 year old and 13 year old were there for smoke inhalation and were released.
Two male teens are still at the hospital. One of them was an 18- year-old college student,who was shot in the leg. He is waiting to go into surgery tonight.
The other teen was 16-years-old. He was shot in the hand. His Mother did not speak any English (she said her son was everything and she recently lost her job so she is seeking a position as a homecare aide).
Everyone on the train is lucky to be alive and we are glad you are!
