Police named Frank R. James as the person interested in the shooting in the Brooklyn subway that left 10 shots and 19 others injured. NYPD chief James Essig said a U-Haul truck linked to the shootings was rented in his name, with the key found among the perpetrator’s belongings left behind on the train. The chaos unfolded at 8:24 a.m. on an N train traveling to Manhattan when a gunman wore a gas mask and opened a gas canister inside the wagon, police said. He then opened fire on at least 10 people inside the train and on the station platform as it entered 36th Street in Sunset Park. In all, 29 people suffered non-life-threatening gunshot wounds and smoke fragments. A weapon, ammunition, gas canisters and fireworks were found at the scene, with research suggesting the weapon may be involved. Officials initially said unexploded ordnance was found at the scene, and witnesses said there was an explosion, but police later said there were no known explosive devices in the city subway.
