Gun violence is more common in the United States than in other developed countries.

On the afternoon of February 12 (morning of February 13, Hanoi time), two bloody shootings occurred in New York City, USA.

At least one female victim died after being taken to St Barnabas Hospital and five others were injured in the shooting at the Mount Eden Avenue subway station in the Bronx at 5:37 p.m. local time, a city police representative said.

According to witnesses, a subject fired more than 10 rounds into the crowd waiting for the subway at Mount Eden Avenue station. The perpetrator then fled.

New York police have cordoned off the scene and asked people to stay away from the shooting area.

Most of the subway system that passes through the station was disrupted. According to the New York Post, this is one of the most serious shootings in the city in recent years.

On the same day, another fatal shooting also occurred in the Queens district of New York.

New York Police Commissioner Jeffrey Maddrey says police shot and killed a man who pointed what appeared to be a gun at officers.

The incident occurred at an apartment on the 4th floor of the Ocean Bay apartment complex located on Beach 51 Street.
