Parecia ser o início de uma terça-feira normal em Nova Iorque, mas, por volta das 08h30, numa carruagem do metro da linha N, em Brooklyn, um homem com um fato de construção civil retirou uma lata de uma mala e provocou uma nuvem de fuga. Depois, o suspeito começou a disparar indiscriminadamente.
Os detalhes ainda são escassos, sabendo-se apenas que 16 pessoas ficaram feridas, cinco das quais com gravidade. O suspeito continua em fuga. Além disso, a polícia não está a tratar este caso como um “ato terrorista”, mas antes um “incidente violento”.
Nas redes sociais, começaram a surgir várias imagens (algumas das quais podem chocar os leitores) dos momentos após o tiroteio. Este vídeo dá conta da fuga dos passageiros logo a seguir ao ataque.
