NEW YORK shooting

Police say the gunman in the Brooklyn subway shooting fired at least 33 bullets in the rush-hour train, shooting 10 people.

"There was a lot of loud pops, and there was smoke in the other car," she said. New York City has faced a spate of shootings and high-profile bloodshed in recent months, including on the city's subways. It wasn't immediately clear if any officers were in the station when the shootings occurred. Sitting in the back of the train's second car, the gunman tossed two smoke grenades on the floor, pulled out a Glock 9 mm semi-automatic handgun and started firing, Essig said. It left some New Yorkers jittery about riding the nation's busiest subway system and prompted officials to increase policing at transportation hubs from Philadelphia to Connecticut. That key led investigators to James, who has addresses in Philadelphia and Wisconsin, the detective chief said. A Jan. 25 video -- called "Dear Mr. Mayor" -- is somewhat critical of Adams' plan to end gun violence. Police were trying to track down the renter of a van possibly connected to the violence. But cameras weren't working at three stations where police went to look for evidence Tuesday, Essig said. In the train, Jordan Javier thought the first popping sound he heard was a textbook dropping. One, posted April 11, criticizes crime against Black people and says drastic action is needed to change things. The shooter's motive was unknown.
