NEW YORK — It was a surreal scene outside of the Nets practice facility Tuesday morning, just a half-mile from where a gunman opened fire on a crowded N train in Brooklyn.
Helicopters buzzed around Sunset Park, searching for the runaway gunman who tossed smoke bombs, leaving behind several undetonated, and left at least 16 people injured.
An employee in the lobby of the HSS Training Center was quizzing the guard about the building’s security measures, asking why the front door wasn’t locked and saying she needs to relay information to anxious co-workers.
