The shooting reportedly occurred at a station in the Bronx, at the intersection of Mount Eden and Jerome Avenues.
Video from television news helicopters reported by the Associated Press showed a subway train stopped at the station and orange evidence cones on the elevated platform.
Authorities said that a man in his 30s was killed in the firing incident. Besides, a Fire Department spokesperson was quoted as saying by the Associated Press that four of the other injured sustained serious injuries.
"We don’t believe this was a random shooting. We do not believe that this was an individual indiscriminately firing into a train or a train station,"New York Police Department's chief of transit, Michael Kemper, said at a news conference.
