The survivors of Tuesday morning's subway attack in Brooklyn have described how they sat next to the gunman as he pulled an ax and gun from his duffel bag before he threw a smoke grenade and fired 33 shots, leaving 10 people injured with bullet wounds.
A witness said the suspect said 'Oops, my bad', as he opened one of his gas tanks and filled the subway car with smoke when it was between stations, before he pulled out his weapons and opened fire.
A multi-state manhunt is now underway for Frank James, 62, who is a 'person of interest' in the attack, with police offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.
Police said the keys found at the crime scene belong to an abandoned U-Haul truck in Brooklyn that was rented by James and the suspect also made 'concerning' threats against New York City Mayor Eric James and railed against the city's homelessness crisis in social media posts.
Passenger Fitim Gjeloshi said he remembers the harrowing moment the gunman, who is still at large, decided to fill the subway carriage with smoke before opening fire.
'I looked him, and I thought to myself he was talking to himself for a while, so I looked at him, and I was like, 'This guy must be on drugs',' he told the New York Post.
'When [the train] was about to hit 36th street, we stopped for 5 minutes. He takes out a gas mask from one of his little luggage[s]. He opened one of his gas tanks, and he said, 'Oops, my bad'. He pulls out an ax, he drops it, he takes a gun out, he starts shooting.'

If a good guy with a gun was there he would be dead and they would be alive. Simple as that.
He made him self a prime target and nobody could take advantage of it. He was praying on the innocent and unarmed. Try that in a RED STATE and he probably be dead.
All the good guys are alive. From what I've read, nobody died. He was a lousy shot.
rule 190
hear everything
believe nothing
His choice of a .380 saved them.
Notice how the media and the NYPD heavily emphasized the suspect, Frank James, as being a “dark skinned” male.
Paranoid schizophrenia type...won’t do any jail time...just sent to some mental holding facility.
Probably should have been sent there forty years ago.
Smoke grenade? Gas tank? Very confusing to read.
And every single person on that train was unarmed because they vote dor ceiminal government who makes laws punishing people for being armed
I was restricted for 2 days by FB tonight for sharing a funny meme from a month ago about gas prices from a page called “Mike the Cop.” I rarely go on there anymore anyway, but I’ve posted much worse stuff and never been restricted. I definitely won’t be wasting my time on that stupid site anymore.
Paging Bernard Guest…..
It’s such a good thing no one was carrying a gun to protect themselves, otherwise somebody might have gotten hurt. Yay New York City gun control!!
Has the NYPD investigated the subway staff responsible for maintaining the security video cameras?
“At least 23 people were injured in the attack, but no casualties have been reported. “
I guess I have a different understanding of the word “casualty”.
Well…Goetz, actually but, yeah
Those cameras a low priority. The red light cameras, however, are meticulously maintained. Rest assured that any law abiding citizen in NYC who runs a red light even in the most obscure location will have a ticket in their mailbox ASAP.
Big gov, even at the city level, doesn't mess around with their sources of revenue from the tax-payers.
“Notice how the media and the NYPD heavily emphasized the suspect, Frank James, as being a “dark skinned” male.”
When I heard reports of this, and no mention that the suspect was white, I immediately formed my suspicions.
Liberal government spokespersons and journalistas are oh-so-predictable.
Reminds me of the Long Island Railroad shooting of 1993.
