Shootings on New York subways or buses are rare, reports The New York Times. There were five shootings in the first eleven months of 2023, compared to eleven in the same period in 2022. That year, a man with a gun injured ten people on a train passing through Brooklyn. That was the first mass shooting in the subway system since 1984.
On an average weekday, about 3.8 million trips are made on the New York subway.
