Federal prosecutors have charged the man who allegedly shot ten people on a subway train in Brooklyn with carrying out a terrorist attack on a mass-transit system. Fortunately, no one was killed in the attack for which Frank R. James was arrested without incident on Wednesday afternoon in the East Village section of Manhattan. That’s about five miles from Sunset Park’s 36th Street station, where the shooting spree occurred.
Besides those who were struck by the 33 bullets wildly fired from the Glock pistol, which is registered to James, over a dozen other people were injured in the mayhem. Prosecutors say that an effort was made to obliterate the serial number on the gun, but it was insufficient, so the feds were able to determine that James legally purchased it in Ohio.
