NYPD seeking 62-year-old “person of interest” in NYC subway shooting

The NYPD has identified Frank R. James as a “person of interest” in the investigation of the Brooklyn subway shooting. They believe he rented a U-Haul van whose keys were found at the scene. Police are investigating whether he has any connection to the shooting and have not named him as a suspect. Ten people were shot Tuesday morning and at least 13 others injured when a suspect opened smoke grenades on a train and fired a gun 33 times. Hourari Benkada says he was sitting next to the shooter and was shot in the back of his knee. He joins AC360 from his hospital bed and describes the terrifying moment he realized he was hit by a bullet. Plus, President Biden says it’s “become clearer” that Russian President Vladimir Putin is committing “genocide” in Ukraine. CNN Chief International Correspondent Clarissa Ward is in Dnipro, Ukraine and tells AC360 what she saw when she left Kyiv earlier in the day.
