There was a terrible incident today in Brooklyn as a shooting took place inside the subway. Now a culprit has been identified.

CBS New York reports that police have identified Frank R. James of Philadelphia as the shooter in today’s scary subway scene. He wore a green utility vest and had a gas mask on at the time. He then detonated a smoke bomb inside a moving subway car before opening fire.

James reportedly shot at least ten people in the train and the station. In total, 29 people were injured following the terrible attack. Thankfully, there were no fatalities as of this writing.

He emptied several magazines of ammo before fleeing. Police later discovered a Glock-like handgun inside the 36th Street station. Authorities are looking for any help in tracking him down. It will hopefully only be a matter of time before he is apprehended.

Being in tune with pop culture doesn't mean it has to make sense, but he tries. Favorite bands include any group from Seattle who formed between 1991 and 1999. 5 Ozzfests under his belt and 12 Warped Tours, but his last concert was a bluegrass AC/DC cover band that was not 100% terrible.
