It happened shortly before 12:30 p.m. Sources said the victim and the suspect were arguing on the platform before the shooting. The dispute then spilled onto the train and back onto the platform. Police say they are still investigating whether shots were fired on the platform or on the train. The victim was transported to Bellevue Hospital in critical condition, where police later confirmed he died. His identity has not been released, but he is said to be in his thirties. A woman who identified herself as Miller tells Eyewitness News that her daughter came face to face with the gunman. "We heard five rounds and my daughter said 'omg there's the shooter,'" she said.

Uptown C and D trains were bypassing Seventh Avenue.

NEW YORK (WABC) -- Governor Kathy Hochul and Republican challenger Bruce Blakeman campaigned in separate appearances Sunday, offering sharply different visions for New York as voters prepare for early voting and Election Day. Hochul visited Concourse Village in the Bronx, where she highlighted policies including a ban on cell phones in schools and expanded access to community college and child care. The governor said those priorities are rooted in her own experiences. "I knew what it was like to struggle, not having child care. That's why as governor, when I'm focusing on your family as my fight and we're going to have child care for everybody, this was a personal fight because I knew what it was like not to have it," Hochul said. Meanwhile, Blakeman campaigned in Elmont on Long Island alongside Lee Zeldin, whom Hochul narrowly defeated in the 2022 gubernatorial election. Zeldin later became administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency in the Trump administration. While Hochul did not mention Blakeman during her Bronx appearance, supporters said a major challenge for Democrats in the borough is voter turnout. "I'm counting on all of you," Hochul told attendees.
