The 32-year-old man behind the Brooklyn subway shooting on March 14 will not be charged at this time because it appeared to be a case of self-defense,

will not be charged at this time because it appeared to be a case of self-defense, according to Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez’s office.

The 36-year-old man remains in critical condition at NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital after being shot in the head with his own gun by the 32-year-old man just after 4:45 p.m. on March 14 on board a Manhattan-bound A train as it pulled into the Hoyt-Schermerhorn Streets station. After another man intervened, the two men separated. But when the 36-year-old man realized he was bleeding from the back, he accused the 32-year-old man of stabbing him — then reached into his jacket and pulled out a firearm. That sent passengers scrambling to the rear of the car and ducking to protect themselves, in fear of gunfire.
