The man who set off a smoke bomb and opened fire on a crowded New York City subway train last year, injuring 29 people but miraculously killing none, was on sentenced Thursday to 10 concurrent life terms plus a 10-year consecutive term in prison.
Frank James pleaded guilty in January in federal court to 10 counts of committing a terrorist attack or other violence against a mass transportation vehicle and an additional firearms charge in connection to the April 2022 attack.
Prosecutors had asked the judge for a life sentence, while the shooter’s attorneys asked for 18 years.
James, who was 62 at the time, put on a gas mask, set off a smoke device and fired a handgun at least 33 times on a Manhattan-bound N subway train heading through Brooklyn’s Sunset Park neighborhood during a weekday morning commute, prosecutors have said.
The smoke device caused passengers to scramble to one end of the subway car, making them easier targets for James, prosecutors said. Ten people were shot and wounded, and others were injured by the smoke or by the panicked crowds. In total, 29 people were hospitalized.
