The attack is NOT being investigated as an act of terrorism but authorities have not ruled anything out, the NYPD commissioner said. Investigators have cell phone video from an eyewitness that shows the suspect, sources say, and a U-Haul cargo van “connected with” the shooting has been located in Brooklyn along with a credit card that identified the suspect.

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.
