‘Self-Defense’ – Brooklyn DA Won’t Charge Subway Shooter
The Brooklyn District Attorney will not charge the 32-year-old man who shot a 36-year-old man in self-defense on a subway platform Thursday during rush hour.
A spokesperson for the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office said the shooter acted in self-defense.
NBC News reported:
A 36-year-old man was shot with his own gun on a New York City subway Thursday as terrified riders took cover, screamed that there were babies onboard and begged for someone to open the train doors so they could get to safety.
While Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office spokesperson Oren Yaniv on Friday said the shooting “was shocking and deeply upsetting,” he added that “at this stage, evidence of self-defense precludes us from filing any criminal charges against the shooter.”
A 36-year-old man was shot in the head by his own gun inside the Hoyt-Schermerhorn subway station in Brooklyn on Thursday evening during rush hour.
