Suspected New York subway shooter arrested

A man who the police said was a suspect in the Brooklyn subway shooting, Frank James, was taken into custody on Wednesday, more than 24 hours into the expansive search that erupted after a gunman shot at least 10 people in a train station, according to two law enforcement officials.

James, a 62-year old Black male, was apprehended in the East Village, one of the officials said, and was expected to face a terrorism-related charge brought by federal prosecutors in Brooklyn’s eastern district, according to two people briefed on the investigation. The development on Wednesday represents a significant step in the investigation into the Sunset Park shooting that left at least 23 people injured when a man donning a construction suit and gas mask threw two smoke grenades on the floor of an N train and unleashed a barrage of gunfire into the car around 8.30 am (local time) on Tuesday.
