New York police search for subway gunman NHK

Police in New York launched a manhunt on Tuesday for a gunman who attacked commuters on the subway. The man hit 10 people and left 13 others hurt. But authorities said none of the injuries are life-threatening.

Witnesses said a man wearing a construction vest put on a gas mask during the morning rush hour. He set off a smoke bomb. Then, he started shooting. He hit passengers in a subway car and on the platform.

The gunman fled the station. But police were able to get a picture of him from a bystander's cell phone.

Investigators are not treating the attack as an act of terrorism. But New Yorkers were already nervous about a rise in gun violence as the city recovers from the pandemic.
Americans see reports of shootings every day. Officials in the Biden administration introduced more measures just this week to tackle the latest wave of gun violence.
