The New York Police Department has released images of two individuals believed to be involved in Monday's fatal subway shooting, aiming to identify them.
At around 4:35 p.m., gunfire erupted on a Bronx train platform during rush hour, resulting in one fatality and five injuries.
Michael Kemper, chief of transit for the New York Police Department, said the shooting was not random but rather stemmed from a confrontation between two groups aboard a train.
Three gunmen were believed to have fired as many as 19 shots, and officials say they have identified one of the suspects but are attempting to identify the other two who are believed to be "armed and dangerous."
