A person of interest wanted in connection with a shooting on a subway car in Brooklyn has ties to Philadelphia, authorities announced on Tuesday evening.
Stacey Sager reports police are investigating a U-Haul discovered in Gavesend, Brooklyn in connection of a subway shooting that injured dozens Tuesday morning.The early Tuesday morning attack turned the commute into a scene of horror: a smoke-filled underground car, an onslaught of at least 33 bullets, screaming riders running through a station, bloodied people lying on the platform as others tended to them.
Sitting in the back of the train's second car, the gunman tossed two smoke grenades on the floor, pulled out a Glock 9 mm semi-automatic handgun and started firing, Essig said. He said police found the weapon, along with extended magazines, a hatchet, detonated and undetonated smoke grenades, a black garbage can, a rolling cart, gasoline and the key to a U-Haul van.
Rambling, profanity-filled YouTube videos apparently posted by James, who is Black, are replete with Black nationalist rhetoric, violent language and bigoted comments, some of them directed at other Black people. A Feb. 20 video says the mayor and governor's plan to improve safety in New York City's subway system"is doomed for failure" and refers to himself as a"victim" of the mayor's mental health program. A Jan. 25 video - called"Dear Mr. Mayor" - is somewhat critical of Adams' plan to end gun violence.
