12 April 2022: Brooklyn, New York

Frank R. James, a 62-year-old man injured 23 people in a Sunset Park, Brooklyn subway train shooting. Dressed in a safety-orange vest and a green construction helmet, James is accused of strapping on a gas mask, releasing two smoke grenades and firing a gun he was carrying. The gunman was reportedly on the train for eight stops, escaped in the chaos as the train came into the station. One surveillance camera, and possibly others, that could have captured the gunman was not working. The camera malfunction hampered the search for James. In the station, police found a nine-millimeter semiautomatic handgun, a hatchet and a bag of fireworks. James was later captured alive.
