Beloved Crossing Guard Fatally Shot on Brooklyn Subway

Richard Henderson was killed while intervening in a dispute over loud music; shooter remains at large as community rallies to support grieving family.

Richard Henderson, a 45-year-old father of three and grandfather of two, was shot dead on a Brooklyn subway train on Sunday evening while trying to break up a dispute over loud music.
The shooter, who remains at large, fired at Henderson, hitting him in the back and shoulder. It is unclear if Henderson was the intended target.
Henderson, who worked as a crossing guard at a private school in Manhattan, was described by family and friends as a peaceful man always willing to help others.
Students at the school where Henderson worked have set up a GoFundMe campaign for his family, which has raised over $31,000 in just 12 hours.
The incident is the latest in a series of violent incidents on New York's subway system, which has struggled with multiple derailments and a 'subway surfing' death in recent weeks.
