Mayor Eric Adams, who continues isolating after testing positive for COVID-19, presided virtually over the ceremony.
Frank James, the man wanted for allegedly opening fire on a rush-hour subway train in Brooklyn, shooting 10 people, is in custody, sources told ABC News.
Investigators are working to determine whether James intended to carry out the attack as the train pulled into the 36 Street Station or whether he somehow got spooked and set off his smoke grenades sooner than intended, the sources said. In a court filing ahead of his appearance, federal prosecutors called the shooting calculated and"entirely premeditated," saying that James wore a hard hat and construction worker-style jacket as a disguise and then shed them after the gunfire to avoid recognition.
