According to <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/04\/13\/brooklyn-subway-shooting-suspect-frank-james-kept-to-himself\/\">The New York Post<\/a>, sources claimed the suspect\u00a0\u00a0 called 911 himself, informing them he could be found a fast-food restaurant near Astor Place, saying: \u201cYou know, I think you\u2019re looking for me.

He felt panic, he said, and feared calling the police because he didn\u2019t want to be wrong. \u2026 But when a police car happened to stop for a<span> red light at the corner, Mr. Puebla said, he walked to it, waved and said, \u2018Police officer, I might be wrong but the guy that did the shooting is right in the middle of the block,\u2019\u201d The Times added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Social media slammed Adams and Sewell with comments like these:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>While we are thrilled he was arrested and caught.
