Cameras in the station were "inoperable".

No matter how much money you throw at them, they don't give a fuck.

Post 9/11 cameras in the system way are critical, it shouldn't have any downtime.

New York police say they have identified a person of interest in the Brooklyn subway shooting that saw 10 people suffer gunshot wounds and injured at least 18 others.

NYPD announced on Twitter that they were searching for a Frank R James in connection with the attack, in which a masked gunman set off a smoke device before opening fire on a crowded Manhattan-bound N train as it waited to enter 36th St station on Tuesday morning.

“This is Frank James. He is a person of interest in the shooting that took place on the N train in Brooklyn Tuesday morning,” they stated in the tweet, which included two pictures of the suspect.

Authorities say they do not know if 62-year-old Mr James was the shooter in the shocking incident.

“We are looking for Frank James,” said NYPD Chief James Essig at a Tuesday evening briefing. “We know he rented that U-Haul van.”

Mr James, who has addresses in Wisconsin and Philadelphia, was not named as a suspect. NYPD says that investigators want to know if Mr James witnessed the attack.

A $50,000 reward has been offered for information that leads to an arrest in the case.

The gunman in the attack opened fire at least 33 times with a Glock 9-milimetre handgun, added Chief Essig.

“Witnesses state the male opened up two smoke grenades, tossed them on the subway floor, brandishes a Glock 9-millimeter handgun,” he said.

At least 10 people sustained gunshots and 29 people were injured in total but none appeared to have life-threatening injuries, officials said at a press conference. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said that President Joe Biden was briefed on the latest developments and the White House was in touch with Mayor Eric Adams and the police commissioner.

NYPD said they were not investigating the shooting as a terrorist attack but it was still being considered an active shooter incident. No motive for the attack has yet been made public.

Earlier police found a U-Haul truck with Arizona plates that was linked to the suspect.

On Tuesday afternoon, police recovered a gun, a high capacity magazine, and a backpack containing the fireworks and smoke devices, NBC News New York reported.

Law enforcement sources said the gun may have jammed during the attack, preventing further injury and possible death.

A key to the U-Haul van was found at the scene of the crime as was the credit card used to rent it in Philadelphia, law enforcement sources told The New York Post.

Authorities have launched a huge manhunt for the shooter, but say that security cameras at the Sunset Park subway station were not working at the time of the attack. But officials believe they have images of the suspect taken from nearby businesses.

Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell said Mayor Eric Adams was getting an increased security detail as a precaution.

Officials say that the shooting took place on a Manhattan-bound N train just before 8.30am, and that the suspect was mubling to himself beforeputting on a gas mask and removing a cannister from a bag and the train began filling with smoke.

He then began shooting with a handgun, hitting people on the train and platform at the 36th Street station in Sunset Park.

People waiting on the platform getting on the train as people stumble out bleeding amid clouds of smoke. People staring at their phones as gunshots ring out in the subway car next to theirs. We’re doomed as a species.

He fired 33 times.

The fatal victims included a 23-year-old woman and a 22-year-old man.

Later at the scene, investigators found a Glock handgun, three extended magazines, two detonated smoke grenades, two non-detonated smoke grenades and a hatchet.

His Glock gun jammed in the midst of the carnage, police said. The faulty gun prevented the shooter from causing further carnage.

Damn, he was up to some real massacre.

Two law enforcement officials said that a credit card with Mr. James’s name on it had been found at the scene of the shooting, as had a key to a van that Mr. James had rented.

The lack of security camera footage from the 36th Street subway station has become a significant obstacle in efforts to detain the gunman in Tuesday’s attack, putting the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s surveillance system under renewed scrutiny.

Mayor Eric Adams said a “malfunction” was the reason that at least one camera at the station failed to capture anything. M.T.A. officials claimed on Tuesday that no more than 1 percent of the subway system’s cameras are out of service at any given time.

One senior law enforcement official said that it appeared none of the station’s cameras were in full operation at the time of the shooting on Tuesday. It is unclear exactly how many cameras were at the station. The official requested anonymity because it is an ongoing case.

Cameras are checked “regularly,” Tim Minton, an M.T.A. spokesman, said. He could not say how often. When the agency announced in September that it had finished installing security cameras in every one of the city’s 472 subway stations, officials touted them as a safety benefit. The M.T.A. has nearly 10,000 cameras in its system, Janno Lieber, chief executive officer of the agency, said.

But problems with the cameras date back years. In 2010, M.T.A. officials said nearly half of the system’s cameras at the time did not work, either because of software or construction problems.

And in 2018, an audit by the state comptroller’s office found routine problems with camera maintenance in the subway system. For instance, auditors reviewed all 223 cameras at 10 subway stations between January 2014 through September 2016 and found that about 31 percent of 4,219 planned checks weren’t done.

The audit also found that 26 percent of 9,223 calls to the M.T.A.’s Electronic Maintenance Division for problems with cameras and recording devices during the same period took longer than a three-day target to be addressed.

A follow-up report in 2019 concluded that the agency had “made progress” by following some of the audit’s recommendations.

“If you are a criminal who preys on those who use our system, you will have your image captured and be put on the express track to justice,” the agency’s chief safety and security officer, Patrick Warren, said in September.

Surveillance of New Yorkers has drawn criticism from civil liberties advocates who have said that security cameras do not necessarily prevent crime. They have also criticized the N.Y.P.D.’s use of them to monitor homeless people at subway stations and warned against potentially discriminatory use of their footage.
