Suspect shot by police on subway platform in the Bronx

Police shot a man who was allegedly holding a gun on a Bronx subway platform just after midnight Wednesday.

It was the second police-involved shooting just hours apart in New York City.

It happened at the 225th Street Station in the Wakefield section, after someone called 911 saying a man was firing shots.

Police were also alerted by their ShotSpotter system.

Authorities say both plainclothes and uniformed officers arrived at the scene, encountered the gunman, and fired multiple rounds at him.

He was shot in the shoulder and was taken to Jacobi Hospital, where he is listed in stable condition.
