Authorities in New York announced the arrest of the suspected subway shooter. In a press conference Wednesday, law enforcement officials revealed 62-year-old Frank James was taken into custody without incident after they received a tip.
Police confirmed they found video of him entering the subway system Tuesday and also recovered a nine millimeter gun they suspect he used in the shooting, which injured at least 10 people.
New York Police co*missioner Keechant Sewell praised hundreds of detectives along with law enforcement partners for their efforts to find James.
“We hope this arrest brings some solace to the victims and the people of the City of New York,” she stated. “We used every resource at our disposal to gather and process significant evidence that directly links Mr. James to the shooting. We were able to shrink his world quickly. There was nowhere left for him to run.”
The incident happened during rush hour Tuesday morning as the train pulled into the 36th Street station in Brooklyn. The New York Fire Department said they initially responded to a call about smoke at the station. When they arrived on the scene, they found multiple people with gunshot wounds.
James will be arraigned in federal court in Brooklyn on a terrorism-related charge. He’s facing life behind bars if convicted.
