Multiple people were shot, with at least 13 people injured, after a gunman's rampage in a Brooklyn subway station in New York on Apr. 12.
CNN reported that the incident began at around 8:30am local time, when the Fire Department of New York was alerted to a report of smoke in the subway station.
A preliminary investigation showed a possible smoke device was detonated at the station.
Five people were shot, according toΒ CNN's sources, although it is uncertain if these five are considered to be among the 13 injured.
The Fire Department of New York (FDNY) reported earlier that "several undetonated devices" were found at the scene.
According to a subsequent tweet by the New York Police Department (NYPD), there were no active explosive devices detected there.
