“Police identified [the suspect], 62, of Philadelphia as a person of interest in the case,” CBS News reported. “They say [the suspect] rented a U-Haul van that might be connected to the shooting.”
“We are endeavoring to locate him to determine his connection to the subway shooting, if any,” NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig said.
Videos from the attack on the subway showed that the air was filled with smoke from smoke bombs that had been detonated. The suspect fired dozens of rounds during the attack, hitting at least 10 people. Another approximately 19 people were injured from the chaos that ensued from the attack.
