A man who was on the same New York subway train when Bernhard H. Goetz shot four teen-agers said that he told a grand jury that he never felt threatened by the youths and added: “I don’t think there was a reason for that shooting.” Victor Flores, 47, told the New York Daily News that he was riding on the subway with Goetz and the youths on Dec. 22 when the shootings occurred. He said that he testified about what he saw before the two grand juries that have looked into the case, the News reported. Goetz is scheduled to testify before the second grand jury on March 29.
