India excelled at the Munich World Cup, finishing third with two golds and two bronzes. Star performances included Suruchi Singh's gold and a mixed team victory.&nbsp;

A string of consistent final appearances and two gold medals powered India to a commendable third-place finish at the recently-concluded World Cup in Munich, one of the most prestigious and challenging tournaments on the ISSF's annual calendar.
The tournament saw India register their third top-three finish this year in four World Cups, with two gold and as many bronze medals.
The team not only improved its standing from joint third last year, but also doubled its medal count, including the number of gold.
"The Munich World Cup which is an annual feature of the International Shooting calendar and is held at the revered Olympic Shooting range, which hosted the sport at the 1972 Munich Olympics, has once again brought out the best in our rifle and pistol shooters," said K. Sultan Singh, Secretary General, National Rifle Association of India (NRAI).
He added, "When many were saying and quite rightly so, that India will find it very tough given the large field, quality of competition and the fact that some of our best were not part of the squad, our athletes have proven that the depth in Indian shooting is more formidable than ever before.
"On behalf of the NRAI, I congratulate the entire squad including the coaches and support staff, for the amazing results, not only in Munich, but throughout the year." The high point for India at Munich this year, as also of this whole international season, has been the stunning consistency of rising women's pistol star Suruchi Singh.
The Haryana teenager won an unprecedented third consecutive individual ISSF World Cup stage gold in the women's 10m air pistol, two months after a memorable debut in Buenos Aires. She went where no Indian has ever gone before.
The other highlight was Arya Borse and Olympian Arjun Babuta's tremendous win over the Chinese world record holders Sheng Lihao and Wang Zifei, the former also the Olympic champion in the event, in the 10m air rifle mixed team final, where they completely outgunned their opponents 17-7.
With some incredible and consistent series of high scores, they showcased the depth and new found confidence in Indian shooting.
Elavenil Valarivan (women's 10m air rifle), a two-time Olympian, and Sift Kaur Samra (50m rifle 3 positions women), Olympian and world record holder, also reinforced their status as world-class shooters with their bronze-winning performances in Munich.
Elavenil also set a new qualifications national record of 635.9 en route to her bronze while Suruchi equalled Manu Bhaker's qualifications national mark of 588 in the women's air pistol.
In keeping with the trend this year, Indian World Cup debutants also delivered encouraging performances in strong fields.
Ananya Naidu shot a solid 632.4 to finish 13th in women's 10m air rifle, while Nishant Rawat (10m air pistol men) and Aditya Malra (air pistol men) shot scores of 582 and 578 to finish 10th and 27th respectively.
India made a total of seven finals in the 10 events in Munich with Bhaker (women's 25m pistol), Varun Tomar (men's 10m air pistol) and Chain Singh (men's 3P) making the cut.
China finished on top of the standings with seven medals including four gold while Norway edged India to second on the basis of having won a silver with the same number of golds and medals as India.
A total of 11 nations including the individual neutral athletes group won medals in Munich.
The ISSF bandwagon will move to Lonato Del Garda in Italy next month for the year's fourth Shotgun World Cup stage, while the fourth and final rifle/pistol World Cup is scheduled for Ningbo in China in September.

She closed the contest with a 9.4, which will not please her coaches, but by then the gold was in her bag.
On Friday, India's Adriyan Karmakar had won the silver medal in the 50m rifle prone event.

New York subway shooting: 1 killed, 5 wounded; suspect at large

The gunfire broke out on an elevated train platform at a time when stations throughout the city are filled with kids coming home from school.

One person was killed and five wounded in a shooting at a New York City subway station on Monday at the start of the evening rush hour, authorities said.
The gunfire broke out on an elevated train platform in the Bronx at around 4.30 pm, a time when stations throughout the city are filled with kids coming home from school and many workers are beginning their evening commute.
A man in his 30s was killed, police said. A Fire Department spokesperson described four of the other injuries as serious.
Police weren't immediately able to provide details on what happened but said a hunt was on for the shooter, who fled the scene.
"The train was coming and there were two kids yelling," witness Efrain Feliciano (61) told the Daily News. "There were at least six shots." "I saw sparkles as the bullets hit the wall," Feliciano said. "A woman was holding a child screaming." Video from television news helicopters showed a subway train stopped at the station and orange evidence cones on the platform, which is three stops north of Yankee Stadium. Trains were still running through the station on an express track but weren't stopping as police investigated.
Fear of violence on the subway system spiked after a string of incidents in recent years but overall crime in New York City has been plummeting since a surge at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The number of people shot citywide dropped 39 per cent last year compared to 2022. Killings on the subway system also dropped last year, from 10 to 5.&nbsp;

A national-level shooter and Air Force officer lost his thumb in a gun related accident at New Delhi's Karni Singh shooting range.

National level shooter loses thumb in bizarre gun accident at Karni Singh Range

An Air Force corporal, who was preparing for the National Shooting Championships, lost his thumb in a bizarre explosion at Delhi's Karni Singh range.

<h2>An Air Force corporal, who was preparing for the National Shooting Championships, lost his thumb in a gun-related accident at Delhi's Karni Singh shooting range.</h2>

A national-level shooter partially lost his left thumb when the 10m air pistol cylinder he was filling with compressed air exploded at the Karni Singh Range.
The incident, which left everyone shocked, occurred on Saturday evening.
Pushpender Kumar, a corporal with the Indian Air Force, was training at the shooting range for the National Championships, currently underway in Bhopal when he suffered severe damage to his left thumb, which required immediate hospitalisation.
He is currently admitted to the Indian Army's R&amp;R hospital here.
A national coach told PTI on condition of anonymity that while Pushpender was filling compressed air into the pistol cylinder from the main cylinder, the incident happened.
Air pistols and air rifles have a sleek gas cylinder attached just below the barrel. When the shooter presses the trigger, the compressed gas in the cylinder is released, which hits a hammer inside the air gun, ejecting the lead pellet.
The air pistol's cylinder has to be filled after a certain number of shots with the help of a compressor or a portable cylinder.
Earlier, carbon dioxide used to be the preferred gas to fill the cylinders but with the advancement in technology, compressed air cylinders, which look like smaller versions of LPG cylinders, are used to fill the air pistol cylinders.
Pushpender belongs to the Baghpat district of Uttar Pradesh and, while he has not competed in internationally, he is a senior member of the IAF team.
He had lost his mother nearly a month back.
"We are hopeful Pushpender will make 90-95 per cent recovery post surgery," said the coach.
"Air pistol cylinders have to be replaced after a certain period of time and the gun manufacturers do it for free. Thankfully, Pushpender's shooting arm is safe." The coach added that he had not come across such an incident in his career "though (gun) vendors say such incidents do happen".
It is not known whether the air pistol was personal or belonged to the Air Force.
"It is sad that he will not be able to compete in the national championships currently underway in Bhopal. His mother had passed away some 15-20 days back. As far as I know, he has not played internationally. He usually trains at the Karni Singh range in Delhi," the coach added.
The coach said that international rifle shooter from Meerut, Ravi Kumar, who is also with the IAF, was with Pushpender at the Army hospital to take care of him.
Kumar, a World Cup bronze medallist, told PTI that Pushpender is doing well post surgery and should be released from hospital soon.
"He is doing fine and should be discharged in the next 2-3 days," said Kumar.
Another pistol coach at the Karni Singh range said that it is important that air pistol and rifle shooters replace their gun cylinders every 10 years or as directed by the weapon manufacturer.
"There is a possibility of a mishap if the refill cylinders are not replaced as directed by the manufacturers. I don't know the exact cause of the blast but one should not take it lightly as once the validity expires anything can happen," he said on condition of anonymity.
"Pushpender is a good shooter and I have known him for a long time. What I have been told is that he has undergone a major surgery. He is around 28-30 years old. Usually what happens is that the pressure gauge indicator on the air weapon's cylinder starts malfunctioning, giving incorrect reading. It leads to overfilling of the cylinder, which causes it to burst," he added.&nbsp;

Yet another gold medal in shooting!
The Indian trio of Swapnil Kusale, Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar and Akhil Sheoran clinched gold for India in the Men's 50m Air Rifle team event.

While Swapnil topped the qualification charts, Aishwary Tomar finished second behind him. Akhil Sheoran was 5th in the qualification round.
While Swapnil and Aishwary also qualified for the individual event final, Akhil Sheoran missed out despite finishing 5th. While the top 8 shooters usually progress to the final round, only 2 shooters are allowed from a country. And hence, Akhil Sheoran won't feature in the final despite finishing in the top 8.
