Times Square Shooting Suspect Captured Using NYC Subway Escape

A suspected shooter in Times Square managed to escape into the New York City subway system after allegedly attempting a robbery, shooting a bystander, and firing at police. Despite the extensive surveillance cameras in the subway, suspects have been able to evade capture by running through busy stations, entering the tracks, or boarding trains. The subway system's cameras are primarily useful for identifying suspects after a crime has occurred, and maintenance issues have been reported in the past. The incident highlights the challenges of using surveillance to prevent crimes in the subway system, which remains a popular means of escape for criminals in New York City.
