2. Oh, boy.

How awful. Hope they catch the shooter(s).

We're taking the train to NY next month--so as not to worry about flying!--and it comes in to Penn Station.

4. I rode the LLRR for 25 years to Penn Station from Long Island

I took the train from Florida to Penn Station a few years ago, I loved it. Sad so many memories are made scary with todays gun laws.

I wonder what the motive was or if it was just another psycho who went off the rails? No pun intended.
