Cops Swarm Cadillac After Shooting Near Amtrak Yard in NYC

A man was shot in the leg near Amtrak's Sunnyside Yard in Queens early Thursday, sparking a wild manhunt for the gunman as authorities investigated a possible dispute between two of the railroad's employees, authorities say.

The victim was expected to survive. Chopper 4 showed a white pickup truck cordoned off on an overpass near the yard, its driver's side window shattered.

About 90 minutes after the shooting, which was around 8 a.m., heavily armed officers with shields and tactical gear were seen cautiously surrounding a black Cadillac in a Rite Aid parking lot. A person was seen removed from the SUV on a stretcher in unknown condition; it's not clear if that was the suspected shooter.

It's not known what prompted the shooting, nor how many shots were fired, but officials do not believe the gunfire was random.

Authorities are looking into the possibility that it involved two Amtrak employees, but details on the individuals in the case remain unclear at this time.
