Frank R. James, 62, is the prime suspect, reported by the authorities, in yesterday's shooting at a subway station in New York City York City. The man opened fire with a 9mm gun on the passengers who were waiting on the platform and those who were getting off one of the formations.
Investigators found James' YouTube channel, Prophet oftruth88, which were examining and reproducing the videos posted in which he denounced that the United States was a racist place mired in violence and in which he sometimes charged the city's mayor, Eric Adams.
In one of his videos he commented on one of his fantasies: “I could say that I wanted to kill people, I want to see people die right in front of my face right away.”
He also talked about how everyone should be “exterminated” and that he didn't like being around “blacks”. “We don't give a damn, we don't give a damn and that's why we should be exterminated, that's why we should be off this damn planet, because we don't give a damn that the fact that we're hurting is what life gives us.”
“Your prayer is not going to make a m... for you,” he spoke in a video which he criticized and wondered what God was doing for them.
So far the platform has not suspended James' channel, which has hundreds of videos and more than 3000 subscribers. In many of his entries he calls himself “the prophet of doom” (“the prophet of doom”).
THE FACT
A shooting broke out on Tuesday at a New York subway station, leaving at least 29 people injured who were taken to a hospital in Brooklyn, according to EuropaPress, citing firefighters and the American newspaper Washington Post with a report from hospitals in the area.
Frank James rented a U-Haul van linked to the N subway attack in Sunset Park and is being wanted for questioning, police said in an afternoon briefing.
The key to the van was found at the crime scene, as was a credit card that rented the vehicle in Philadelphia, police and law enforcement sources said.
At least a dozen people were hit by the gunfire and five of them are in critical but stable condition. Authorities are also investigating a possible explosion at the scene.
Police have recovered a handgun and several high-capacity magazines at the subway station where the incident occurred. The gun, a Glock pistol, was apparently jammed, a problem that could prevent the shooter from causing even greater damage, police sources told the NY Post newspaper.
Four hours after the incident, Police Chief Keechant Sewell told the media that the shooting is not being investigated as terrorism, noting that “although it was a violent incident, apparently no one has fatal injuries as a result of this case.”
