Police are looking for a vehicle in connection with a shooting that left one dead and two wounded in Midtown Manhattan Monday morning, ABC 7 NY reports. The shooting took place at the intersection of Eighth Avenue and West 35th Street.
According to ABC 7, two victims were taken to Bellevue Hospital in serious condition.
Police said the man who died was pronounced dead upon arrival at a hospital, Pix 11 reports:
A 43-year-old man was shot once to the neck and to the stomach, according to authorities. And the third victim was shot in the leg, cops said.
Police said the gunman possibly escaped in a silver car.
Update 8:30 a.m.
There appears to be some confusion over where the shooting occurred: one police source tells the New York Times the altercation began outside and “spilled into Penn Station,” where the man was shot on a platform. But another tells the paper, somewhat confusingly, that the man was shot on the subway stairs and “the shooting did not take place inside Pennsylvania Station.”
Detectives reportedly believe the men knew each other.
