The Story in Brief
The New York Police Department said two men were wounded when a gunman opened fire near a busy subway station in the Bronx on Thursday evening. The shooting occurred around 6 pm outside the West Farms Square-E Tremont Avenue station, with surveillance footage showing a man in a white hoodie firing at a group near a shop before fleeing.
A 20-year-old man was shot in the leg and a 31-year-old man suffered a gunshot wound to the buttocks. Both were taken to St Barnabas Hospital in stable condition, the Times of India reports citing NYPD. Police have not said if the men were the intended targets, and no arrests have been made.
The Indian Opinion
Another day, another shooting near a US subway. While Americans debate gun rights, ordinary commuters pay the price. But this story also forces Indian readers to ask: do we have the same courage to call out our own gun violence? From licensed firearms in wedding processions to illegal weapons in Uttar Pradesh, India too bleeds. Let us watch how quickly NYPD releases a suspect description, and compare it to how often our own police share details of shooters in Delhi or Bihar.
