riding the train to school on what should have been a regular morning, john. alexander field, grateful for the live reporting. it is remarkable nobody has life threatening injuries. breaking news with our jason carroll. police put the investigation together, jason, what are we learning? reporter: a real key part of this investigation, they have linked the gun found here at the scene of the shooting to frank james. indeed, it was purchased by frank james. this gives some background and some insight into how that how frank james moved from a person of interest to a suspect because apparently once investigators, once police decided they could definitively link the gun that was found to james and they could elevate how they categorized him from a
the people of the city of new york come together. i happen to be proud of them, i was born and raised in brooklyn. gillian: steve rogers, thank you very much. appreciate it. john: the touch screen, show you the geographical locations where all of this took place, the relation that one has to another. forgive me if i don t draw exactly accurately on the screen, we are doing this by free hand. but the n train, which is the subway that he was on start here in coney island, up like that and this, and then jogs over, crosses the manhattan bridge, and then the broadway line, cuts to queens and then up to laguardia airport. the same train that runs along the line is the n train, up from bay ridge, meets up here but
side of the platform, people were told to get on to that train so that they could move that train out and get people to safety. the n train comes up this way, goes through a tunnel to lower manhattan, and right about here is the union square, 14th street station and it was over here, let me erase this, right about in this area here in the east village where he was apprehended. that might be a little close to the east river, but in that area he was apprehended. so down here in brooklyn, kings highway station the u-haul van was found and photographs of him getting on the n train, getting up into that area, and then it was up here in the east village area where he was apprehended. so, it does not look too big, or too much of distance when you look here, but these five boroughs of new york are absolutely enormous, and it s a
instead cuts over, goes at a lower manhattan and they meet back up in canal street. now, the kings highway station which is near where that u-haul van was found is right about there in brooklyn. that is also where apparently these images were taken that show frank james allegedly entering the subway station. the 59th street station, which is where these lines link up, is right about in here. and then between 59th and 34th street station, right about there, 36th street station, sorry, 36th street station where this all took place. now again, the reason i drew in both the n and the r lines here is because they share an amount of track and share this station here. this is a transfer station, 59th is a transfer station as well. at the time the n train rolled into the station there was an r train that was a local train which was parked on the other
could he be by now? great question, john. what are we using? his credit cards. right now his associates, his family, his friends, anyone that knows him is being interviewed. they re asking to track and trace via a third party phone, executing warns for residences he lived at in the past, what they can find to try to id him. from a physical surveillance looking at plate readers, ez-pass. if he came in from philadelphia with that u haul van, the verazzano bridge which takes you into downtown brooklyn where he boarded the train, the n train. looking at ez pass, plate readers, maybe he had another vehicle that was preplanned.
