Pictures from a Daily News photographer showed what appeared to be a semiautomatic weapon on the ground at the scene, along a block of retail businesses.
A hat was also on the sidewalk by the weapon, and numerous evidence cones were spread across the scene, suggesting multiple shots were fired.
MTA officials planned to hold a news conference at the site of the incident early Saturday.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
