Around 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, James allegedly donned a gas mask while wearing a construction vest and construction helmet and tossed two smoke grenades on the floor of a subway.
He then allegedly fired 33 shots.
Officials said 10 people were injured by gunfire, and 13 suffered injuries due to smoke inhalation, panic attacks, and falls.
NBC News reports, “A 9mm Glock handgun left at the scene has been traced by Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives investigators to James and a pawn shop in Columbus, law enforcement said. The suspect purchased it there in 2011.”
Officials offered a $50,000 reward for information that led to his arrest.
