What should have been a routine commute ended with a packed train scrambling for cover as gunfire erupted on an A train in Downtown Brooklyn.

No criminal charges will be filed against the gunman – the District Attorney says he acted in self-defense. The 36-year-old victim was shot four times with his own gun. Police say he was armed with a knife and gun when he picked a fight with another passenger.

The latest violence has passengers on edge, and city officials are trying to reassure the public.

We have a team of reporters covering all angles of this story – including new reaction from Mayor Eric Adams – plus tips on what to do if you find yourself in a scary situation.
