NYC Mayor Eric Adams describes the manhunt for the suspect following Tuesday's mass shooting on the subway at 36th Street Station in Brooklyn.

The attack left at least 29 people shot or otherwise injured, shaking a city already unnerved by a sharp rise in crime.

A "mumbling" lone gunman in a reflective vest and a gas mask threw smoke bombs into a subway car in Brooklyn and then began shooting at the height of the morning rush, with the manhunt continuing into the evening as new details emerged in the probe.

None of the injuries were considered life-threatening. Authorities said a magazine jammed in the gun, which possibly saved lives.

Tuesday evening, the authorities identified 62-year-old Frank R. James as a person of interest in the investigation and released a photo at an NYPD briefing led by Commissioner Keechant Sewell.

On Wednesday morning, Mayor Eric Adams said James was no longer just a person of interest and would be considered the suspect going forward.
