Footage shows Brooklyn subway shooting suspect Frank James being taken into custody by NYPD after having been spotted in the East Village.
in Brooklyn, shooting 10 people, was taken into custody in Manhattan on Wednesday afternoon, officials said, ending an over 24-hour-long search.The NYPD received a tip saying the suspect was in the East Village, in a McDonald's at 6th Street and 1st Avenue, police said. Responding officers didn't see him in the McDonald's, but they drove around the area and spotted James near St. Marks Place and 1st Avenue, where he was taken into custody without incident around 1:45 p.m.
"He was just walking like normal, like he didn't do anything before, like something like a normal person," Puebla said. The"active shooter" incident unfolded on a Manhattan-bound N subway just before 8:30 a.m. as the train approached the 36th Street station.A man mumbling to himself on the train donned a gas mask and detonated a smoke canister before pulling out a handgun and firing 33 bullets, a police official told ABC News. Three teenagers were among the 10 people shot.
"Based on the preliminary investigation, we believe he was alone," Adams told ABC News in an interview Wednesday on"Good Morning America." Sewell said she increased security for the mayor after investigators found what she called"concerning posts," though she declined to call them"threats." The key to the van and a credit card, which law enforcement sources told ABC News was used to rent a U-Haul, were among the gunman's possessions recovered from the shooting scene. Other items discovered at the scene of the shooting include the gun used in the attack, three extended magazines, a hatchet, gasoline, four smoke grenades and a bag of consumer-grade fireworks.
