Three men were shot at point-blank range in the heart of NY City Monday morning, outside of a McDonalds near an entrance to Penn Station at 35th Street and Eighth Avenue.
The Daily News, citing police, said a 43-year-old man died in the shooting.
Details are just starting to come in, indicating that the Penn Station shooting occurred before 6:15 a.m. Eastern Time. So far, it appears the shooting was sparked as a result of an argument that took place inside the fast food establishment. The man who was killed was shot in the head.
He said the wounded are being treated at Jordan’s main military hospital and were visited by King Abdullah II.
Three suspects, none of whom have been identified or apprehended, then fled the scene, heading north on Eighth Ave., sources said. “They took two men to two different ambulances”. “I can’t believe it”.
“I’ve been coming here for 14 years, and I’ve never seen anything like this happen”, he said.
