The Post has some statements that subway shooting suspect Raul Nunez made after his arrest. Nunez, an illegal immigrant (previously deported for a drug conviction) caught illegally using a student Metrocard, wounded two cops (pictured) with one of their guns and fired at another police officer, who wounded him. Nunez said, "I knew they were cops. They were trying to arrest me. I saw the [officer's] gun, and I grabbed it and went wild. I should have kept shooting, but the other cop shot me and broke my leg." He added, "I wasn't thinking of what I'm doing. I was just trying to do for my kids. I'm illegal." Yesterday, the NY Times pointed out that 400 of the 7,000 people arrested for fare beating have arrest warrants on them.
