NEW YORK: Several people were shot and 13 people were injured in a shooting incident that took place at a subway station in Brooklyn in New York. The incident occurred during the morning commute at the 36th Street subway station in Brooklyn's Sunset Park. Authorities also found undetonated explosive devices in the area.

It was not immediately clear whether the number of injured people included those who were shot. A New York City police spokesperson said that officers were responding to the scene, but did not have details on the number of individuals shot.

The New York Police Department warned people to stay away from the area, which is known for its thriving Chinatown, views of the Statue of Liberty and Industry City, a sprawling warehouse district that has become home to many creative businesses. Video footage showed a massive law enforcement presence around the subway station, including heavily armed officers and dozens of police cruisers and emergency vehicles.
