GUILTY NY - Frank James, Brooklyn Subway Shooter, Multi Victims, Undetonated Devices Fnd, Apr'22 - *Arrest*

[ms_x_to_the_m]

So guy left his credit card behind!?!?! So I hope that means they know who they are looking for. I just hope no one else gets hurt trying to apprehend him.

NEW: Inside the subway station police found a handgun with three extended round magazines. One in the gun jammed. One empty on the floor. One on shooter’s backpack, a law enforcement official told
@ABC
News The gun jamming is believed to have saved lives #SunsetPark #NYC

The inability by the shooter to clear the jam could suggest a spontaneous, untrained "lone wolf" rather than a member of a formal group.

A member of a formal group would probably be more likely to receive at least rudimentary training regarding the weapon. Most jams can be cleared pretty fast after having received instructions. A more experienced user can clear them very fast.

Thankfully, as the observer noted, he could not clear the jam and instead, fled.

Good grief!

If this is a terrorist incident, he is equally as dimwitted as the original WTC bombers who returned to the rental agency to collect their deposit on the rented and then destroyed bomb truck.

Then, there was the other NYC terrorist who left the keys for the getaway car in the car he placed the bomb in.
Day before bombing, Shahzad made a dry run in Manhattan, source says - CNN.com

Suspect has a past criminal record in PA, WI and NY

Van driven from PA to NY through NJ yesterday into today

I work in NYC. There is a fair of police presence in all subways and the Metro North/LIRR stations in Manhattan and the Boros. It has been something that has increased since the new mayor came in on January 1 AND as a result of the violence that was present in Harlem and around the city. In fact this afternoon at the Metro North station at 125th I saw 9 officers patrolling the area. Yes, today was a mass shooting but that number is not really any larger that what I see on a daily basis. My work area is in a high crime area but I see officers on the subways and buses every day even when traveling out of my high crime neighborhood.

Suspect Was Previous FBI Guardian Lead
The man suspected in the Brooklyn subway shooting Tuesday is known to the FBI, a federal law enforcement officer told Newsweek's Naveed Jamali.

The suspect, who has yet to be identified, was a previous FBI Guardian Lead out of New Mexico. He was interviewed multiple times by the FBI and eventually cleared in 2019, the officer said.

"The Guardian Program, managed by the FBI, provides a proven methodology for reporting, sharing, tracking, and mitigating a large volume of counterterrorism-based incidents," the FBI website says.

I agree. When my kids lived there (one in Manhattan and one eventually in Brooklyn), I used to visit and travel between the 2 boros by subway at all times of day and night. And there was always a sufficient police presence on the trains and in the stations to make me feel safe. Much more so than my closer (proximity) city of Philly.

Here is some more info on it. It stands out that the reservation was made on April 6. It certainly seems some planning went into this. It is amazing, thankfully so, that there were no fatalities.

——
The U-Haul van connected to the subway shooting in Brooklyn was rented on April 11 from a U-Haul store in Philadelphia, according to company records obtained by CNN.

The rental agreement obtained by CNN shows that the U-Haul reservation was made on April 6, and was scheduled to be picked up on April 11 at 2:01 p.m. ET.

The van was supposed to be rented for two days, according to the reservation.
