NEW YORK – Two people were shot and killed by a subway in Manhattan on Tuesday, according to sources familiar with the investigation.
Emergency crews responded to the station West 14th Street yes Sixth Avenue after the FDNY said it received a call at 10:26 about a person on the tracks who may have gone into cardiac arrest.
Once teams arrived, they found two people dead, police at the scene said, adding the victims were a man born in 1977 and a woman born in 1959. It was unclear whether they knew each other.
While it’s unclear what happened, police say it doesn’t appear to have been a pressure scenario at this time.
Police hope witnesses can determine exactly where the victims were originally located, whether on a train or platform, and other information to help them in the ongoing investigation.
Telemundo 47 helicopter showed several NYPD vehicles in the area. MTA workers were seen walking down the stairs towards the station.
Metro service has been affected in the area.
