In this edition of Eyewitness News extra time, we are following breaking news in the Bronx, where one person was killed and five others were injured in a shooting on a subway platform.
It is believed the shooting happened after an argument on the Uptown 4 train, then spilled onto the subway platform in the Mount Eden section. Eyewitness News reporter Darla Miles is on the scene.
An AccuWeather Alert is also in effect for the heavy snow expected. The snow, combined with heavy winds has led to school closures and warnings against traveling by car.
This will all be happening at the height of the Tuesday morning commute. The New York City Department of Sanitation says a full fleet of more than 700 salt spreaders will begin to operate before the first precipitation falls. More than 2,000 of the department’s collection trucks will be turned into snow plows.
Eyewitness News reporter Toni Yates will continue our coverage in New Jersey where preparations are underway across the state. Northern counties are expected to get the brunt of the snow. Both customers and the stores are ready.
We end with a warning about detergent pods. Could they soon be illegal in New York City? City Council Member James Gennaro introduced a bill last week that would make selling or distributing detergent pods or laundry sheets with polyvinyl alcohol illegal.Â
