Mount Vernon police: 1 person shot, another potentially armed in 2 separate incidents

Mount Vernon police say a person was shot and another person was potentially armed with a gun near the train station in two separate incidents on Thursday.

Officials say the person was shot on Eighth Avenue and Fourth Street near Levister Towers. 
This is near the location where 14-year-old Zyaire Fernandez was shot and killed two weeks ago.
Earlier in the day, the Mount Vernon Police Department says its crime unit chased a man who allegedly had a gun near the Mount Vernon East train station.

Detectives tried to stop him, but he ran onto the train platform and then the tracks.
