NEW YORK — A gunman in a gas mask and an orange construction vest tossed smoke bombs into a crowded northbound N train and then opened fire on passengers early Tuesday, shooting five people and injuring eight others, police sources said.
The gunman remained at large.
The mayhem began just before 8:30 a.m. at the 25th Street station in Sunset Park. As the doors closed, the man in the vest threw several smoke bombs into a train car and started firing, NYPD sources said.
