Subway shooting suspect slept in a rented van, posted online rants before attack

NEW YORK — The subway shooting suspect still on the run Wednesday was apparently sleeping inside a rented van on a Brooklyn street in the days before his bloody rampage aboard the N train, sources told the New York Daily News.

Police discovered a portable heater, clothes and other items suggesting suspect Frank James was living in the vehicle with Arizona license plates, sources said. No other weapons were found inside James’ vehicle after the shooting spree in which 10 passengers were wounded during the Tuesday morning rush hour, sources said.

The 61-year-old suspected shooter left a Glock 9 mm handgun inside the train as he escaped in the chaos, police had said. The weapon was traced to a pawn shop in Ohio.
