subway shooter Frank James being arrested 

New York City Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell, New York City Mayor Eric Adams and other officials are providing an update on the Brooklyn subway shooting investigation. Ahead of the briefing, law enforcement officials told CNN the suspected shooter Frank James was arrested by patrol officers in the East Village in New York City today. 

The 62-year-old man, who police initially described as a “person of interest” in the shooting, was declared a suspect earlier Wednesday after investigators determined he purchased the gun recovered at the scene, law enforcement officials said. An intensive hunt was underway for James, who police say is responsible for Tuesday’s attack. 

Two law enforcement officials told CNN that the gun evidence was the turning point in elevating him from a person of interest to a suspect. The subway attack left 29 people injured, including 10 who were shot, though none of the injuries appear to be life-threatening, officials said. Five of the victims were young people commuting to school, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said. The motive of the shooting is not yet known. 

The attack is not being investigated as an act of terrorism but authorities have not ruled out anything, the NYPD commissioner said.
