maybe he never planned to go back to the vehicle. that s a 500-acre cemetery and there s a lot of mausoleums and crypts and bushes. so i would be researching his family, parents and grandparents, to see if there s any relatives buried in there, any connection there. and the nypd with all of its resources could do a search of that place pretty quick. but you can t just drive around. he could crawl behind a mausoleum or inside some bushes, get on top of some small structure and, you know, shoot him himself, cut his wrists, and she s laying in there and that s one possibility. i don t think he s carrying a cell phone, jose. i think they would already have it by now. so i don t think he has a lot going on right now, you know? jim, i m just thinking, he left behind apparently a 9 millimeter glock. it s really a miracle that when he discharged that weapon in such a close, you know, contained area that he didn t cause more mayhem than he was able to do. i mean, this is really remarkable.
and in the 5:00 a.m. hour, there are already dozens of folks that were making twhar through. life is going back as normal here, but i think that that speaks to the fact that this is now a search that goes far and wide beyond brooklyn here. wii talking about now more than 25 hours since frank james left this subway station here. and the question is, where is he now here? and this is a conversation in that extends to the boroughs of manhattan, the bronx, queens, new jersey, just how far may he have gone already in this short time span, and in just how much danger does he still potentially pose to the greater new york city area. he obviously left behind the k millimeter glock, left behind three additional extended capacity magazines, which suggest that he had much more on his mind than what ultimately was carried out. there were no fatalities, luckily, here. but this is a community still very much on edge, because this man has now had 25 hours. and as pete suggested, this is clearly an
after firing his weapon 33 times at innocent new york city subway riders, mr. james boarded the r train that pulled into the station and went one stop up and exited at the 25th street station. we have a picture of that. the gun used in this, a 9 millimeter glock was recovered at the crime scene and was purchased by mr. james in 2011 in ohio. we tracked mr. james, and his last known whereabouts was 7th avenue, entering the subway. minutes ago, thankfully, nypd patrol officers from the ninth precinct responded to st. marks and first avenue where they apprehended him without incident. this case was quickly solved using technology, video canvassing and getting that information out to the public,

joining me now is nbc news correspondent vaughn hillyard. you ve been monitoring a lot of the social media that s come out, and that s something law enforcement will be looking at as well to try to get a picture of this suspect. walk us through what you ve been seeing. reporter: yeah, and the difficulty with so many of these videos is what they capture or do not capture and at this point there is no video. there is no photo evidence that we have seen, that we re told by officials was wearing a gray vest, gray hoodie. 180 pounds. a black male here who per our own pete williams reporting says not only left his backpack, the smoke canisters but the 9 millimeter glock that he says was jammed. the way in which the transit
