"He had a gunshot wound to the hand, it was a pretty devastating injury to the thumb and it destroyed a lot of the bone, the joint, the tendons, the nerves," Dr. Choeuka told reporters. Photos: Brooklyn subway shootingMaimonides Health in Brooklyn treated five victims of the mass shooting. These victims -- who are 12, 13, 15, 16, and 18 -- were on their way to school when a gunman shot them on the subway.

Victims were also taken to NYU Langone Hospital’s Brooklyn campus and New York-Presbyterian Methodist Hospital. Many of them were treated there for smoke inhalation. Kenneth Foote-Smith, who was riding the subway during the attack, saw the chaos unfold through a connecting door."So, I look into it and I see smoke. Thick white smoke, so it's not gun smoke, I knew immediately, I'm like, that's not a gun going off in there," he recalled.Police have towed away a U-Haul van that could be linked to the mass shooting in a subway train in Brooklyn. The NYPD said a man named Frank James rented the van in Philadelphia.

"We were prepared to care for twenty, thirty, patients if we needed to. Fortunately, we only have five. Three of the children were in really good shape and were able to be discharged," Dr. John Marshall, Chair of Maimonides Hospital’s Department Emergency Medicine said.
