Suspected Brooklyn subway shooter Frank James was arrested by patrol officers in the East Village in New York City on Wednesday, three law enforcement officials tell CNN.
Patrol officers from the 9th Precinct downtown arrested him, they said.
Suspected Brooklyn subway shooter Frank James was arrested today in New York’s East Village neighborhood, officials say, after police received a tip.
Ten people were shot at a Brooklyn subway station Tuesday, officials said. Authorities said the suspect put on a gas mask, deployed a gas canister and then began shooting, firing at least 33 times.
An intensive manhunt was underway for James, who is believed to be the renter of the U-Haul van recovered in Brooklyn and whose keys were found at the scene.
The shooter’s motive is still unknown, officials say.
James has so far been charged with violating a law that prohibits terrorist and other violent attacks against a mass transportation system, according to the US attorney. He will be arraigned in federal court.
