Police said the gunman was acting alone and immediately fled the crime scene.

Ten people were hit directly by gunfire, including five hospitalized in critical but stable condition, authorities said. Police said that at least 13 more people suffered from smoke inhalation or were left injured due to the panic caused by the smoke-filled subway car. Some collapsed to the pavement of the 36th Street station. The fire department said two of those hurt were treated at the scene.
