The attack on the Manhattan bound N/R lines began at 8:27am local time, when a man, wearing a green construction vest, stood up on the train and put on a gasmask. He then tossed smoke grenades which filled the subway car and began shooting passengers.

The train pulled into the Sunset Park station in Brooklyn. Passengers were running from the train onto the platform. The attacker continued firing on those waiting on the platform and fled the scene.

New York Police were dispatched to the scene and immediately blocked off the entire area. Throughout the day new reports were provided and by evening, it was clear the shooter had arrived to create a mass casualty event on the Brooklyn train. Police announced they recovered from the scene a Glock handgun, four smokers, two which had not been detonated, three extended magazines, and a hatchet.

Police recovered 33 shell casings from the scene. It was a miracle that the carnage was limited as it could have been a massacre.

Former NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly told Fox News Digital, "This is a big onion that you have to peel ... Issues such as have crimes committed in New York City recently with people using smoke or smoke grenades, smoke canisters."

Once they were able to determine the van keys did not belong to an injured passenger, they were able to trace the keys, and found the van had been rented in Philadelphia to Frank R. James, 62, with addresses in Philadelphia and Wisconsin.

He was immediately named as a person of interest and his image circulated. His connection to the attack has not yet been confirmed.
