Yahoo News 1 dead, 5 injured in New York City subway station shooting
One person was killed and five others wounded in a shooting at a subway station in the Bronx Monday evening, police said.
Around 4:30 p.m. ET, officers responded to 911 calls of a shooting at the Mount Eden Avenue station and found six people shot, NYPD Chief of Transit Michael M. Kemper told reporters at a media briefing Monday night.
The victims, four men and two women, whose ages ranged from 14 to 71, were all taken to local hospitals. One of the men, a 34-year-old, died at St. Barnabas Hospital, Kember said.
The injuries to the other victims were not life-threatening, according to the police.
Kember said the shooting was not random and started inside a No. 4 train when two groups got into a dispute.
As the train pulled into the station, one person took out a gun and opened fire, according to Kemper.
"This is unacceptable, and when detectives make an arrest ... there must be swift, immediate, strong consequences,” Kemper said.

A suspect has not been identified, officials said.
