A series of shootings plagued New York City just hours after the Brooklyn subway attack had officials assert they'd bring an end to gun violence.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Three people were killed and at least 12 others were wounded in a series of shootings across New York City Tuesday night, just hours after the early morning Brooklyn subway attack that prompted officials to again call for an end to surging gun violence plaguing the Big Apple.
A 23-year-old woman, and two young men, ages 21 and 22, were all shot to death in separate shootings in the Bronx Tuesday night. At least five other individuals, including a 15-year-old girl, were reportedly wounded by gunfire but survived across New York City over the course of a six-hour time span.
The violence happened hours after authorities say a man donned a gas mask, detonated a smoke grenade, and opened fire inside a train car and at the 36th St. station in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, around 8:24 a.m. as commuters headed to work in Manhattan and children were on the way to school.

At least 29 people were injured, including 10 people who suffered gunshot wounds. The high-profile incident prompted New York Gov. Kathy Hochul to say gun violence "has to end, and it ends now."
"We are sick and tired of reading headlines about crime," the governor asserted.

"Another nice day. Everybody’s out in the street, and everybody’s getting shot," an NYPD officer in Brooklyn remarked to the New York Post. "No one is safe."
