Brooklyn subway suspect’s gun jammed in carnage: law enforcement sources

The weapon used by the monster that opened fire on a crowded Brooklyn subway on Tuesday jammed amid the bloodshed, preventing it from causing more carnage, law enforcement sources told the Post.

Investigators recovered the jammed Glock and two extended magazines from the scene of the shooting, which occurred aboard a Manhattan-bound N train just as it arrived at the 36th Street station in Sunset Park just after 8:20 a.m.

“It was lucky he got stuck because we could talk about a lot more people in hospitals or worse,” a law enforcement source said.

“Dozens more people were reportedly injured or more seriously injured.”

At least 29 people were injured in the incident, including 10 people who were shot, but miraculously none of them faced life-threatening injuries, the NYPD said.

The suspect, who is still trending, was using a rolling milk crate-type carrier to transport his belongings, sources added.

A bag left by the alleged shooter appears to be filled with smoke bombs and fireworks.

A multitude of weapons, including a hatchet, pepper spray, two gas canisters, a bag of fireworks, smoke grenades and gasoline were also recovered from the scene, but it is not not immediately clear if they all belonged to the suspect.

Anyone with information about the shooting should call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS or log on to the Crime Stoppers website.
