Jul 23, 2023In the Midst of a Shooting, Two Strangers Play an Important Role in Each Other’s Lives
Apr 06, 2024Mayra Kalisch and Eric Acevedo
In April of 2022, a gunman wearing a gas mask dropped smoke grenades on the floor of a New York City subway car and opened fire on the passengers, resulting in the injury of 29 people. As the car pulled into the next station, passengers fled, and chaos ensued.
Mayra Kalisch and Eric Acevedo, strangers who had never met despite living two blocks from each other, were there to witness the aftermath.
What happened in the next few minutes forged a special bond between them, but also sent them down different paths in the months that followed.

Originally aired August 25th, 2023 on NPR’s Morning Edition.
