Uber says it'll refund customers who were charged surge pricing around the Brooklyn subway shooting

• Uber said it'll refund customers who were charged surge pricing around Sunset Park in Brooklyn.
• Twitter users said they noticed surge charges on the Uber app while trying to leave the area.

Ride-share company Uber said it would refund customers who were charged surge pricing near a mass shooting at a New York City subway station in Brooklyn on Tuesday.

"Following the incident, Uber disabled surge pricing in the vicinity and capped pricing citywide," the company said in a statement shared with Insider.

It added: "If anyone on our platform experienced unintended charges during this emergency, we will work to get them refunded."

At least ten people were shot and over a dozen were injured after the shooting — which happened at around 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday morning — at the 36th Street station in the Sunset Park neighborhood of Brooklyn.

NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell said at a press conference Tuesday afternoon that none of the injuries are life-threatening at this time.

Following the incident, several people posted on Twitter that they noticed surge charges on the Uber app while trying to leave the area of the shooting.

The NYPD launched a manhunt for the gunman, and local schools were placed on lockdown following the attack.
