A pedestrian was shot after a fight inside of Penn Station spilled out onto the street outside on Monday night, NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea said.
A man who may have been wearing a red backpack pulled out a gun and fired near West 31st Street and Seventh Avenue, missing his target and hitting a bystander in the leg around 5:40 p.m., Shea said.
The victim, a man believed to be in his late 50s, was taken to the hospital, police said. He’s expected to recover. The man has been in New York for the last several months for work.
He was supposed to meet his wife on Monday night, but he was alone when he was shot.
Just curious, but why is your description of an entirely different incident than the headline?
I believe the article intended was this one:
That’s still not what the headline says, but sidebar rules notwithstanding I like OP’s description better. This absolutely fits the definition of “mass shooting” that is used when it’s not the police doing the shooting.
The article doesn’t match the headline, did you link the right article?
