NYPD commissioner Keechant Sewell said Brooklyn shooting suspect Frank James was arrested on Wednesday, as 'there was nowhere left for him to run.'
Frank R. James, the man who New York City officials say was responsible for the Tuesday-morning shooting aboard a Manhattan-bound N train, has been arrested.
“My fellow New Yorkers, we got him. We got him,” NYC Mayor Eric Adams said while speaking remotely at a press conference. The mayor is still isolating after testing positive for COVID-19 earlier in the week. James was named a suspect on Wednesday morning. He is believed to have donned a gas mask and set off a smoke bomb before opening fire just before 8:30 a.m. local time. A van, believed to have been rented by James, was at the center of the investigation Tuesday afternoon, after the shooting.
At least a dozen others who escaped gunshot wounds were treated for smoke inhalation and other injuries. The shooter escaped in the chaos, but left behind numerous clues, including the gun, ammunition magazines, a hatchet, smoke grenades, gasoline and the key to a U-Haul van. James “had posted several rambling, conspiracy-laden YouTube videos, railing against the city’s mental health services, complaining about race issues and speaking violently against people who he believes wronged him,” according to a report from the New York Post.
