NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Police are investigating a shooting at the 36th Street subway station in Sunset Park, where authorities found at least five people shot and multiple undetonated devices amid a search for a suspect who fled in a construction vest and gas mask.
The FDNY said it was called to the scene of a smoke condition a little before 8:30 a.m. at the station and found multiple gunshot victims as well as several undetonated devices.
Images on social media show multiple people lying on a platform of the station, apparently injured, amid pools of blood and clouds of smoke. Blood also appeared to be covering the floor of a train.

A manhunt was on for the suspected gunman. Preliminary information indicated the suspect was wearing a construction vest and a gas mask, a law enforcement source told the Associated Press.
