“Then it kicked in. Get them out.” Train driver David Artis and his fellow transit workers were honored by the New York City mayor for their response to Tuesday’s subway shooting in Brooklyn.
Adams, who appeared at the City Hall ceremony virtually because he is isolating after having tested positive for COVID-19, had the workers presented Friday with proclamations to honor them for their heroism.
The subway workers said that amidst the chaos, they didn’t see the gunman in the crowd and were just focused on getting people out.Haynes, the conductor, said she didn’t feel any fear, having worked at an airport before joining the Metropolitan Transportation Authority several years ago and was already used to reacting to unpredictable situations.
As the wounded passengers limped on to the platform, several knelt to assist the injured. One took off a shirt to create a tourniquet for someone shot in the leg.Artis said that when he checked the subway car to ensure it was empty, he found blood on the floor, luggage the gunman left behind and bullet casings, which he said he immediately reported to the transit operators so police could be called.
At a brief court appearance Thursday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Sara K. Winik said James’ premeditated, carefully planned attack “caused terror among the victims and our entire city.” Benkada said he was listening to music on his headphones when smoke began filling the car and he thought it was a small fire.
