Four or five people are hurt. Station is on lockdown. Shooting took place on 38th floor. This is also known as the Citibank building...

Sounds like someone might have gone postal at the office, which happens to be above the train station. At any rate, the commuters are all stuch there while the police are looking for this guy in the building.

Extremely doubtful, since the shooting appears to be on the 38th-floor of an attached office building rather than the station itself.

But thanks for getting the knee-jerking out of the way.

From what I understand, conditions are shortly going to be perfect for a "fogmire".

We occasionally get freezing fog down here in NC. It's strange, walking outside and everything looks like the inside of a freezer that needs defrosting, lol.
