Brooklyn shooting suspect Frank James taken into police custody

The madman who opened fire on a Brooklyn subway car, shooting 10 and leaving another 19 wounded, has been taken into custody, law enforcement sources told The Post.

Frank James, 62, is the prime suspect in Tuesday’s attack and has been on the lam for more than 24 hours after he allegedly disguised himself as a construction worker and fired 33 rounds onboard a Manhattan-bound N train in Sunset Park during the early-morning rush.

Early Wednesday, police received a Crime Stoppers tip from someone who claimed they spotted James at a McDonald’s on East 6th Street and First Avenue in the East Village, law-enforcement sources said. When cops arrived, he was no longer there but they soon caught up to him a few blocks away at St. Mark’s Place and First Avenue, the sources said.

James allegedly didn’t resist when police arrested him and he’s currently in custody at the 9th Precinct.

Twenty-nine victims were wounded in the hellish attack, including ten who were hit by gun fire and 19 others who suffered from a range of injuries, including a pregnant woman who was trampled.

The weapon used in the attack, a 9mm semiautomatic Glock, jammed in the midst of the bloodshed, which law enforcement sources say prevented further carnage.

He was even helped in when the turnstiles failed to work for him.

Here’s the moment suspect Frank James entered the Kings Highway subway station around 6, Tuesday morning.

One of the guys who caught him. Not FBI but an honest person.

If he was wearing a gas mask and the security cameras were non-functional, how did they id the shooter as James?

None dead, unless it’s been updated recently. I think the others were injured attempting to get away, trampled, etc.

Sounds like a follower of Joy Reid, Maxine Waters, just to name a few. THEY are the ones who target crazed people with their divisive words that eventually drive these people over the edge. When will the fingers be pointed at them?

My dad was a cop from the 1960s through the 1990s and it was his favorite show, too.

Today: FBI calls it ‘terrorist attack on mass transit’

Yesterday: Not terrorism.

Supposedly he rented a U-Haul in Philly and dropped the key at the station during the attack, and they were able to track the key to the truck, and back to him.

Well, the way it is written, it would appear that he shot 10 people and wounded another 19 through other means. Maybe he pistol whipped them, or used a knife, or his fists. I don’t believe this is the case, but that is how it reads...

“he looks a little bigger than the 5’5” they first reported...Either that or it is a really short cop...”

No kidding, NYC must have lowered (no pun intended) its standards to allow 4’7” recruits.

“The weapon used in the attack, a 9mm semiautomatic Glock, jammed in the midst of the bloodshed...”

Yesterday it was being reported that it was a .380. But, technically that is a 9mm, just short (hence, it’s being known as a 9mm Kurz, 9mm Short, 9mm Corto, et als).

“Apparently the shooter doesn’t practice much or he’d clear the jam by re racking.”

Yup.

Maybe they should just let him out on a no-cash-bail? After all, that seems to be working so well and all.

Spewing what may well turn out to be self-fulfilling prophecies.

Not sure how long these idiots will continue to reject the benefits of living as PART of Western Culture in favor of their Islamic and/or Thug Life Black Nationalism.

Trying to exterminate “Whitey” isn’t going to work out well for someone who’s demographics make up only 13% of the population...

The patience of the Law Abiding types is just about gone.
