NEW YORK — Five people were shot on Tuesday morning at a subway station in Brooklyn, New York, law enforcement sources said.

Fire personnel responding to reports of smoke at the 36th Street station in the Sunset Park neighborhood found multiple people shot and undetonated devices, a New York City Fire Department spokesperson said.

The fire department said 13 people were injured, but there were no details on what those injuries entailed.

The New York Police Department emphasized, however, that there were "NO active explosive devices at this time."

The police confirmed, "multiple people were shot at the 36th Street subway station in Brooklyn."

According to multiple law enforcement sources briefed on the investigation, preliminary information indicated a suspect was wearing a construction vest and a gas mask.

A photo from the scene showed people tending to bloodied passengers lying on the floor of the station. Further details were not immediately available.

Trains servicing that station were delayed during the morning rush hour.
