The gunman “is still on the loose” and dangerous, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said at a press conference shortly after noon.

NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell said that gunman first donned a gas mask as the train was pulling up to the station and then opened a canister filling the train carriage with smoke. He then started firing.

According to the top cop, the man has been identified as a black male wearing a green construction vest and a grey hooded sweatshirt
