Hours after New York saw one of the worst outbreaks of violence in the recent history, with a mass shooting that left over 20 people injured, a ‘person of interest’ has been identified by the police. Along with a picture, the New York Police Department (NYPD) said they have identified the person as Frank James. “Take a good look! This individual is a person of interest for the incident that occurred early this morning in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. The investigation is ongoing, but any information is helpful! (sic)” the NYPD wrote on one of its Twitter account. The incident, however, is not being investigated as “an act of terrorism”.
