One man was killed and two others critically wounded during a rush-hour shooting near Penn Station on Monday morning, authorities said. The gunfire erupted at 6:14 a.m., just outside the turnstiles of the northeast entrance of the station at 35th Street and Eighth Avenue, police said. The shooter, who fired off four 9mm rounds, has not been captured, and fled north on Eighth with two accomplices in a silver vehicle, law enforcement sources said. Moments before the shooting, all three men were inside a McDonald’s at 490 Eighth Ave., when they were approached by a heavyset man in a black hooded sweatshirt, police said after reviewing surveillance footage. The man then followed the trio into the subway station, where he shot them, according to NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce. The men were shot from behind and didn’t see their attacker coming, law enforcement sources said. The dead man, who was shot in the head, was identified as 43-year-old Angel Quinones. The two critically wounded men were taken to Bellevue Hospital Center, authorities said. William Lamboy, 45, was shot in the neck and abdomen, while Eddie Torres, 48, was hit in the leg, law enforcement sources said. All three victims were patients at a methadone clinic across the street that opened at 7 a.m., said law enforcement sources. The men have long rap sheets for drug busts in Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx, police added. Lamboy could not speak to police due to his wounds, and Torres was not initially cooperative, sources said. A large sum of cash was found on one of the victims, so police are investigating this as a possible drug dispute or narcotics-related hit, law enforcement sources said.
