29 injured

I think most are smoke inhalation? I don’t see how this guy got off the train without being apprehended. People in the cars in front and behind obviously knew…

This is still considered an active shooter situation, nearby schools are being told to shelter-in-place.

Also, do you think it might make sense for a bit more of a description than “larger man, green vest”… White? Black? Hispanic? Asian? Indeterminate? Old? Young? Middle aged? Bears? Clean shaven? Scruff?

[jon-nyc]

I think either they didn’t get a good look because of the gas mask or they know he’s black or Hispanic and don’t want to say.

If they knew he was white, we’d know.

You seem to be coming increasingly conservative in your old age... has anyone else mentioned this?

It's still up in the air whether he'll vote Trump in 2024, should he run.

Black male, short, overweight…

And I bet we’ll collectively forget his name before we forget Rittenhouse’s name…

I had forgotten it. Now you've bloody reminded me again.

It is probably Chris Rock.

Mayor of New York just referred to him as a "dark-skinned male."

Not only is he a biologist, he's not color blind.

Look away! Look away!!!

So I’m on the go and haven’t seen the details, but did the shooter do this IN a train car? Or only on the platform when it stopped?

If the former, this is one of a billion things
lone wolves can do in the world, unfortunately.

It's astonishing how little damage motivated idiots are actually capable of doing.

Investigators believe they know who he is, having identified the suspect after finding a credit card at the scene that was also used to rent the U-Haul cargo van, two law enforcement sources told CNN.

A federal law enforcement source told Newsweek the suspect was the previously known to the FBI, having been entered into the Guardian Lead system in New Mexico.

The system is the FBI's way of coordinating information from other law enforcement partners about potential terrorism-related threats and suspicious activity reports.

He was cleared after multiple interviews in 2019.

I’ve heard there is a definite connection to Wisconsin? That he was involved in the riots that led to the Rittenhouse affair.

He should be the poster boy for BLM.

My guess is that he's not taken alive... but I'd be happy to see him tried and, upon due process conviction, executed as a terrorist.
