Brooklyn Shooting: A gunman wearing a gas mask filled a crowded New York City subway train with thick black smoke from a canister and opened fire on commuters during the morning rush hour, injuring more than 20 people, including 10 by bullet.

A manhunt was underway on Tuesday after the shooter fled. A 9mm semi-automatic pistol and extended clips, an axe, a black trash can, detonated and unexploded smoke grenades and a key to a U-Haul truck were also found at the scene, authorities said. Officers have located the vehicle, which will be examined by a deminer.

The injured passengers suffered gunshot wounds, smoke inhalation and the physical effects of panic. No one was reported to be in life or death.

Joe Biden said Tuesday afternoon: “We’re not going to rest until we find the perpetrator.” He thanked professional first responders and civilians who rushed to help other panicked passengers.

Multiple people shot in Brooklyn subway attack

The US president was speaking at an event in Iowa, while New York City Mayor Eric Adams said authorities were preparing to reveal the identity of the shooter, who is still at large.

Authorities later identified Frank James, 62, as a person of interest in connection with the shooting. James rented the U-Haul van in Philadelphia and has addresses there and in Wisconsin. As of Tuesday evening, officials had no one in custody. A $50,000 reward was offered for information about the incident.

On Tuesday morning, graphic photos and clips posted to social media showed the traumatic scenes on the 36th Street station platform in Brooklyn’s Sunset Park neighborhood around 8:30 a.m. Injured passengers were seen lying down while others were given tourniquets to stop bleeding from their legs.

Another image from the phone showed blood smeared inside the carriage and on the platform, indicating where a passenger had been dragged to safety. Footage captured passengers screaming as they rushed to escape the shooter.

Biden added that he and first lady Jill Biden are “praying for everyone affected by this trauma.”

At a press conference, New York City Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell described events that began shortly before 8:24 a.m. when an N train bound for Manhattan traveled between 59th and 36th.

Brooklyn subway shooting suspect Frank R. James in custody

SUNSET PARK, Brooklyn (WABC) — The man wanted for allegedly donning a gas mask, throwing a smoke bomb and opening fire in a crowded Brooklyn subway on Tuesday morning has been taken into custody.

New York Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell said Frank R. James, 62, was seen by passers-by in the East Village on Wednesday afternoon.

Among the calls that reached Crime Stoppers was a person claiming to be the suspect.

According to law enforcement sources, James called the NYPD and told them he was the man the police were looking for and wanted to turn himself in.

“I think you’re looking for me,” the caller said. “I see my picture all over the papers and I’ll be near this McDonalds.”

They say he gave a name and a description of what he was wearing. He reportedly told police his phone was dying and he would be at McDonald’s charging his phone or outside when police arrived.

When police responded, he had left the McDonald’s at East 6th Street and First Avenue.

When officers couldn’t find him at the restaurant, they scoured the neighborhood for him. According to law enforcement sources, the Good Samaritans told police they believed the suspect was down the street.

Subway shooting suspect denied bail on federal terrorism-related charge

In court, Assistant United States Attorney Sara Winik called the attack “premeditated and carefully planned” as prosecutors requested that James remain behind bars. Defense attorneys told the federal judge that they consent to her being detained at this time, but may seek bail again later. Lawyers also requested a psychiatric evaluation to determine James’ medical needs.

Dressed in a khaki prison uniform and blue surgical mask, James spoke only once, to acknowledge that he had seen the complaint. Outside the courthouse, his lawyer, Mia Eisner-Grynberg, warned against rushing the trial.

“We are still learning what happened on that train,” he said. “What we do know is this: Yesterday Mr. James saw your photo on the news. He called Crime Stoppers for help. He told them where he was. Initial press and police reports in cases like this are often inaccurate. Mr. James is entitled to a fair trial and we will make sure he receives it.

Gun, U-Haul key and bank cards tied to James, complaint states

The suspect, a tall black man wearing an orange reflective jacket, yellow helmet and surgical mask, activated at least one smoke bomb and began shooting people with a Glock pistol, according to a criminal complaint. Witnesses saw the suspect wearing a gas mask, the complaint states.

The shooter fired at least 33 times and hit 10 people, NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig said. None of the injuries appeared to be life-threatening, authorities said.

The smoke caused panic as passengers fled towards the end of the train, waiting two minutes for the train to reach the next station. When he finally arrived at the 36th Street station, passengers were thrown from the carriage and smoke poured from the doors, the video shows. Others with bloody wounds stumbled across the platform, screaming for medical attention.

How he was caught

The video also shows some of James’ movements after filming. After allegedly opening fire, James got off at 36th Street station, boarded an R train that crossed the platform and got off at 25th Street station. According to the complaint.

Less than an hour later, he was seen boarding the subway at the 7th Avenue and 9th Street station. About 1.5 miles away, said Essig, the NYPD official.

James was initially named a “person of interest” but was declared a suspect after investigators determined he purchased the gun left at the scene. Police launched a manhunt that ended Wednesday afternoon when officers arrested him in Manhattan’s East Village.

“We were able to shrink his world quickly. He had nowhere left to run,” Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell said on Wednesday.

Shortly before his arrest, James called Crime Stoppers to turn himself in, two law enforcement sources told CNN. Passers-by spotted James on the street and reported nearby police.
