FBI, NYPD issue $50,000 reward for tips leading to the Brooklyn gunman
The gunman is on the run after shooting ten people in a Brooklyn subway station in NYC on Tuesday
Authorities have named Frank James, 62, as a person of interest after a credit card was found on the scene of the shooting.
Police revealed that James had rented the U-Haul van in Philadelphia that authorities believe is connected with the shooting.
No suspects are in custody yet.
New York Police say that the shooting happened on Tuesday around 8:30 am ET at the 36th Street station in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.
Two smoke grenades were thrown on the floor of a subway train before the man fired what is believed to have been a Glock 9mm handgun 33 times.
An FDNY spokesperson says 16 people have been hospitalised, including five people in critical condition and 10 people suffering from gunshot wounds.
Officials say a gunman wearing a gas mask set off a smoke bomb in the underground station and then opened fire.
The suspect is believed to be wearing a construction uniform.
In chilling footage shared to social media, passengers could be seen running away from the train which had become filled with smoke from the smoke bomb.
Police are searching for the suspect
Local schools have activated a “shelter in place” order, according to a spokesperson for the Education Department.
US President Joe Biden has fronted the media following the rampage, thanking emergency responders for their efforts. He stated that the perpetrator will be found and held accountable.
“Not being investigated as terrorism” – Police say
Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell fronted the media stating that the attack was not being investigated as terrorism, but that she was “not ruling out anything.”
The shooter’s motive remains unknown.
Authorities released a photo they believed to depict the gunman, and the Arizona licence plate number of a U-Haul truck to look out for, two law enforcement officials said.
By early evening, police found a matching, unoccupied U-Haul van in Brooklyn, one of the police members said.
The FBI has now joined the investigation.
Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.
The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.
The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.
Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.
Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured
