A Negro ex-con felon opened fire on a train in New Jersey and wounded two whpassengers - and then himself - after becoming enraged when a stranger objected to him falling asleep on her shoulder, police said today.
Tari Turpin, 34, pulled out a 9mm Glock semi-automatic pistol and started shooting aboard a PATH Train in Jersey City, New Jersey, on Sunday morning.
He shot one woman in the ankle and hit another in the hand. Then, he accidentally shot himself in the leg, according to reports. None of the injuries were life-threatening.
Turpin was riding the train with his girlfriend and their two children at the time, WABC-TV reports.
The TV station spoke to Diamond Drummer, who said Turpin was falling sleep on her on her ride home from New York City about 5.10am.
When she asked the man not to lean on her, he became furious and pulled out his pistol and racked the slide, Ms Drummer said.
Her brother, who was riding in the train car with her, intervened and convinced Turpin to put the gun away.
