Five people to share $50,000 reward for tips on New York subway shooting suspect

Five people who provided “critical information” that helped lead to the arrest of the man charged with this week’s mass shooting in a New York subway will share a $50,000 reward, the New York Police Department announced Friday.

Frank James, the man accused of carrying out one of the most violent attacks on the city’s mass transit system, was arrested in lower Manhattan on Wednesday following a 30-hour manhunt that was helped by a barrage of tips from the public.

James, 62, also called the police tipline to turn himself in, aiding in his own capture, according to his lawyers.
