James, 62, allegedly fired multiple shots on the train, sending commuters running for their lives. At least 29 people were injured, including 10 with gunshot wounds. Five were critically injured, according to authorities. 

At the scene, police found a Glock 17, a gas can, a torch, the key to a U-Haul van and bank cards. Investigators later found the van rented by James five miles from the crime scene. 

“The public is who we serve, but they are also often our best partner,” NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell said. “We appreciate all of those who responded to our call for information to locate this suspect, including all those whose tips did not pan out. We urged the public to join us in this effort to find this suspect and New Yorkers stepped up.”
