And speaking of homeland insecurity:
As if New York hasn't suffered from enough terrorism trauma!
Per the New York Post: "At least 16 people were injured, including 10 who were shot, when a suspect set off a smoke grenade and unleashed gunfire on a Brooklyn subway train during Tuesday morning rush hour, the NYPD and law enforcement sources told The Post.
The gunman — possibly disguised as an MTA construction worker and wearing a gas mask — launched his bloody assault around 8:30 a.m. on a Manhattan-bound N train at the 36th Street station in Sunset Park, where authorities later discovered several undetonated devices, FDNY and police said.
The suspect is believed to have set off the smoke grenade moments before firing off a barrage of bullets, police sources told The Post."
The amount of planning involved; the attack on a packed train during morning rush hour; the fact that America has a huge crime problem and a shortage of police, have all resulted in today's horror. Let's hope it's not the start of more deadly attacks to come.
