Teen arrested in connection to NYC subway shooting that killed 1, wounded 5

A 16-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with a fatal shooting at a New York City subway station during rush hour in early February, officials say.

A 16-year-old boy was arrested Thursday in connection with a deadly shooting at a New York City subway station during rush hour earlier this week, the U.S. Marshals Service said.

The teen is one of three suspected shooters wanted for the Feb. 13 shooting that authorities said stemmed from a dispute between two rival gangs who boarded the same train at different stations.

The first shots were fired as the train pulled into an elevated Bronx station shortly before 5 p.m. and continued on the crowded platform as passengers fled.
