WATCH: NYPD officials will provide an update after at least 10 subway riders were shot this morning in Brooklyn.
Police found an unoccupied U-Haul van in Brooklyn matching the description and license plate number of the vehicle being sought in connection with the shooting, a law enforcement official said.
Investigators found a credit card at the scene of Tuesday’s shooting that led them to identify a person of interest, one of the law enforcement officials said, adding that the credit card was used to rent the U-Haul van that police located in Brooklyn. The two officials were not authorized to discuss the investigation and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity.
A senior law enforcement official says authorities have an image of the man they believe is the suspect and are working to identify him.Five of the gunshot victims were said to be critically injured. Details on the nature of their wounds weren't immediately clear. No fatalities have been reported. It's not clear what kind of gun was used, nor was it immediately known how many shots were fired.
The train stopped at the next station, at 25th Street. Greenish smoke was seen spewing from the subway doors when the Manhattan-bound N train stopped at the platform. People were seen running, and bleeding. In total, 29 were hurt. The nearly two dozen victims not injured by gunfire were hurt in the crowd response to the chaos.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul addresses the shooting in a Brooklyn subway car and the increase in violence across New York City. President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland were briefed on the incident. New York Mayor Eric Adams, who is isolating following a positive COVID-19 test on Sunday, said in a video statement that the city"will not allow New Yorkers to be terrorized, even by a single individual."
