Authorities have a photo of a suspect in today’s shooting in a Brooklyn subway train and are working to confirm his identity, two law enforcement officials say. The motive remains unknown.
Officers around the city are told to look out for a U-Haul truck with a certain Arizona license plate number and to stop it and detain all occupants immediately.
Investigators recovered a handgun at the scene, along with multiple smoke devices and other items they are analyzing, the officials says. They say the suspect is believed to have had at least two extended magazines.
Investigators believe the weapon jammed, preventing the suspect from continuing to fire, the officials say. The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has completed an urgent trace to identify the gun’s manufacturer, seller, and initial owner.
The officials were not authorized to discuss the investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
