UPDATE: According to NBCNEWYORK.COM – “Four spent smoke grenades recovered from a Brooklyn airfield Wednesday appeared to have been set off by a group of teens and not the suspected Brooklyn subway shooter, two senior law enforcement officials said Thursday.”

U. S. Park Police (USPP) Officers assigned to the Jamaica Bay Unit of the USPP New York Field Office (NYFO) were sent to a location within Floyd Bennett Field to secure an area that potentially contained evidence relating to the activities of the Brooklyn Subway terrorist suspect. The USPP Officers responded, clearing the site and securing it as a crime scene after discovering potential evidence. The units advised the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, the NYPD Detective Bureau, the NYPD Bomb Squad, and the NYPD Emergency Services Unit of the situation and waited for their arrival. Here are news articles published concerning the investigation:
