Man fatally shot on subway train in the Bronx
A tragic incident unfolded early Friday morning in the Bronx as a 45-year-old man was shot and killed inside a subway car. The victim was struck in the chest aboard a southbound D train near the 182nd-183rd Streets station just after 5 a.m. Despite efforts to save his life, he was pronounced dead upon arrival at St. Barnabas Hospital.
The police have identified three individuals dressed in all black as potential suspects, who fled the train following the shooting. The motive behind the attack remains unclear, and it is uncertain whether the victim had any prior connection to his assailants. As of now, no arrests have been made in connection with the crime.
Following the tragic incident, a sense of shock and somberness gripped the station platform and the halted train. Bystanders watched in silence as emergency medical workers attempted to resuscitate the victim, to no avail. The immediate vicinity was cordoned off by law enforcement, with a notable police presence and emergency vehicles stationed outside.
In the aftermath of the shooting, subway service at the affected station was disrupted as the police conducted their investigation. Both northbound and southbound B and D trains were rerouted, causing inconvenience to commuters.
While subway-related shootings are relatively rare in New York City, recent incidents have underscored the potential dangers faced by passengers. Earlier this month, a similar fatal shooting occurred at the Mount Eden Avenue station in the Bronx, highlighting the need for increased vigilance and security measures within the transit system.
As this remains a developing story, updates will be provided as new information emerges.

Facing Criticism for Shooting Dog, South Dakota Governor Noem Discusses ‘Difficult Choices’
South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem found herself in hot water recently after admitting to shooting her “untrainable” hunting dog. The controversial incident sparked public outrage, but it did not stop her from attending a gathering of California Republicans, where she received a warm reception on Saturday.
Noem, known for her stance on gun rights and conservative leadership, addressed more than 200 people at the California Republican Party convention in Burlingame. She emphasized the importance of patriotism and preserving American values amidst challenging times.
Although she did not directly reference the dog-shooting incident in her speech, she alluded to the controversy surrounding her decision to euthanize her dog named Cricket due to its poor hunting skills and an unfortunate incident involving farm chickens.
Attendees at the luncheon received a copy of Noem’s book, “No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong With Politics and How We Move America Forward,” which she promoted during her remarks. Despite the backlash, she remained firm in her convictions.
Noem’s focus shifted to her leadership in South Dakota, particularly her handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and her decision to deploy the state’s National Guard to the U.S.-Mexico border. She raised concerns about drug cartels exploiting Native American tribal lands in her state and criticized the federal government for its inaction.
Despite the controversy surrounding her, Noem commended former President Trump for his authenticity and unwavering commitment to his beliefs. She highlighted Trump’s unconventional approach to politics as a sign of his genuine character.
State Republican Party delegate Anna Bryson expressed admiration for Noem’s financial policies and tax reduction efforts. She acknowledged the dog-shooting incident but credited Noem for her commitment to sound fiscal management.
The convention, attended by over 800 delegates and guests, marked a significant gathering for California Republicans. Despite past protests during Trump’s appearance in Burlingame in 2016, the event with Noem proceeded smoothly with no major disruptions.
Noem’s resilience amidst adversity and her unwavering commitment to her principles garnered both admiration and scrutiny at the California Republican Party convention.
