Shortly before 11 a.m., a person was killed by a 1 train at 116th Street and Broadway station, which is right by the Columbia campus. A man reportedly jumped in front of the train. The Spectrum reports, "NYPD cannot confirm it was a suicide, but says that it was an older man. However, an MTA official says that a pedestrian reported that it was a younger man." Service is still disrupted (the 1 is running express between 96th and 137th) due to the investigation.
