Brooklyn subway station camera system had a 'malfunction' during the mass shooting that left over a dozen hurt, NYC mayor says

• NYC Mayor Eric Adams said cameras at the 36th street subway station in Brooklyn had a "malfunction" on Tuesday.
• A gunman opened fire at the subway station on Tuesday morning, injuring 16 people.

The camera system at a Brooklyn subway station had a "malfunction" during the mass shooting that left over a dozen people hurt, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said on Tuesday.

Adams told local radio station WCBS 880 that a preliminary investigation found a "malfunction with the camera system" at the 36th Street subway station in Brooklyn's Sunset Park neighborhood.

"That is still under investigation," he added. "We are communicating with the MTA to find out was it throughout the entire station or was it just one camera."

Ten people were shot and six others were injured at the 36th Street subway station during rush hour on Tuesday morning when a gunman opened fire inside a train car.

NYPD commissioner Keechant Sewell told reporters during a press briefing that there are no life-threatening injuries at this time.

Authorities said the suspect put on a gas mask and opened a canister that filled the train with smoke before going opening fire. The NYPD has since launched a manhunt to track down the suspect.

A law enforcement official told ABC News that police secured an image of the suspect from a video on a bystander's cellphone.

Sewell described the suspect during her press briefing as a roughly 5-foot-5-inch-tall Black man wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt and green construction vest.
