the suspect wearing a gas mask but the fdny reporting gas and smoke coming from the scene. did you see any of that? did you see any smoke around you? no, i didn t see anything like that. there was nothing. i wasn t really looking, you know, the stairway down to the platform was a little bit out of my view at that point. i was just on the first, the bottom of the first flight of steps down into the station, into the, i guess where the station booth sand then another set of stairs to go down to the platform. konrad, thank you so much. glad you re safe. appreciate you telling us what you witnessed there. we have some news into cnn that we re learning president biden has now been briefed on the shooting, as has the attorney general merrick garland and the dhs secretary miorkas.
and the third part of the express train and it happened, like, the smoke grenade or bomb went off, i would say about two minutes before we got to the 36th street platform. and there was a train delay buzz t because the train conductor said there was a delay ahead. it seemed like it was planned because at least four minutes between the stop. so this, what i thought was fireworks but now hearing that it was gunshots and i m thankful i hid behind one of the chairs, but yeah. i honestly have no words for what i ve experienced. i can t even imagine what that experience must have been like for you, yav. just to clarify, were you in the actual car where the shooting took place or were you in a

just when something unusually first happens. people were in the middle of walking up and down, toward the station, i mean, so yeah. i don t think i have any information that would help find the perpetrator. thank goodness you stopped to took time to text your wife instead of preceding down to the subway platform. were there a lot of people there, the timing, it would have been around rush hour commute to work. yeah, i mean, it was reasonable. it s not like the station, the platform, probably a certain amount of people, but it wasn t, where i was, it wasn t a terribly crowded situation. just people making their way down in the platform from it. konrad, we re here. there s also reports of not only
ramsey, steven, a reporter for wnyc. he spoke to a number of people coming out of that station, steve, let us know what they told you. hi there. yes, i spoke with a woman who was on a train actually going north, just after the alleged shooting or whatever happened occurred. she was on a train, not the train where anything happened. we did hear there were gunshots but not on her train. two victims, two people covered in blood. one man, i saw the video shared with me appeared to have been shot in the chest. another woman appeared to have blood on her shoulder. and there were actual doctors on the train, trying to tend to them. they had actually left the platform or the train car where the alleged incident occurred and were on the train going uptown and they got off at that train. one stop, like a two minute,
