NEW YORK (AP) — A 15-year-old boy has been fatally shot after a dispute escalated into violence on a New York City subway. Police say the teenager was in one of two groups of people that got into an argument on an A train in Queens Friday afternoon. As the train neared the line’s final stop in Far Rockaway, near JFK Airport, someone fired one shot, striking the boy in the chest. A passenger helped him off the train when it reached the station. Police and emergency personnel took him to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead. It was the eighth killing on New York’s subways this year.
