New York police confirm that the Brooklyn shooter was wearing a “green construction vest”
Police named Frank R James as the person of interest in the Brooklyn subway shooting that killed 10 people and injured 19 others.
New York City Police Chief James Esig said the U-Haul minibus linked to the shooting was rented in his name, and the key was found among the shooter’s belongings left on the train.
The chaos unfolded at 8:24 a.m. on train N, traveling to Manhattan, when a gunman put on a gas mask and opened a gas can in the car, police said.
He then opened fire, shooting at least 10 people inside the train and on the station platform as he entered 36th Street in Sunset Park.
A total of 29 people received non-life-threatening injuries from gunshot wounds and shrapnel wounds to smoke inhalation.
A gun, cartridges, gas canisters and fireworks were found at the scene, and the investigation suggests that the gun may be stuck.
Officials initially said unexploded ordnance was found at the scene and witnesses suggested there was an explosion, but police later said there were no known explosive devices in the city’s subways.
