At least one person is dead following a shooting just after 6 a.m. that left another two people injured near New York City’s Penn Station.
NY1 reported two were in serious condition and were taken to Bellevue Hospital.
The shooting occurred near 8th Avenue and 35th Street. No arrests have been made.
Initial information from police points to an altercation on the street that led to the shooting inside the subway station at 35th and 8th.

Penn Station is a commuter commuter hub on the west side of Manhattan that services New York City subway and Amtrak trains among others, and is one of the busiest transit hubs in the country.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
Wow. The week just started and we’re already getting a bad guy (with a gun). America is getting to be like a construction site: 0 days since the last mass shooting.
One killed, two wounded in triple shooting near Penn Station
The Good Guy With A Gun overslept again! Man, that motherfucker REALLY needs to buy a new alarm.
There is no safe zone or gun free zone anywhere, only places that someone hasn’t busted out their steel yet.
Guns are everywhere, in purses and pockets and briefcases and backpacks. "Good guys have them as well as the bad guys. Guns create the fear and the reason for thinking that you need to carry a gun which is bullshit. Guns only mean dead or more dead, without them, it’s just a fistfight and a bloody nose.
Just the other day a 60-year-old woman negligently shot herself and someone else at a goddamn gun safety course at a shooting range down the road from me. I don’t know anything about her life, maybe she’s dealing with a stalker or something honestly scary like that, but generally I will bet my house to anyone’s nickel there’s no rational reason most of these frightened suburbanites need a gun. And yet the guns go flying off the shelves. There’s a whole insane belief system, like a suicide cult, built up around guns at this point. It has powerful sponsors and millions of passionate, deeply deluded supporters. In the newspaper piece about this same incident you got the usual suspects nattering on like parrots about lawnmowers and swimming pools. At this point I think it’s going to take decades to move away from this, and a concerted effort to change minds that doesn’t yet exist.
