.kvelsey spoke with people in Sunset Park about how they're feeling in the aftermath of Tuesday's subway attack
Photo: Kim Velsey A day after a mass shooting on the N train in Sunset Park left 23 wounded, life around the 36th Street subway stop definitely did not feel normal. As people started their days, the subway shooter was still on the loose, news trucks and cameras surrounded the block around the station, and police swarmed 4th Avenue.

My phone was bombarded with texts and messages all morning, but it didn’t hit me until I got off the train and started seeing more and more police around 29th Street. Taking the train again today was nerve-wracking, but unfortunately there is no other way. We’re New Yorkers and this is our way of getting around, but I’m afraid.
Jay Vasquez, 20, is a local resident. Photo: Kim Velsey I was too scared to be out yesterday—I just watched it on TV. Today I’m feeling kind of better, but I’m still nervous. I don’t go on the subway too much. I was already nervous after that guy pushed the woman on the tracks. Before the pandemic, it was not like that. Today, my family members took a car service to work, walked, or stayed home.
