NEW YORK — Charges against accused subway gunman Frank James have been upgraded, and hold him accountable as a terrorist for each of the 10 people shot in April on a Brooklyn train.
A new federal court indictment charges James, 63, with 10 counts — one for each gunshot victim — of committing a terrorist attack or other violence against a mass transportation system and vehicle carrying passengers and employees, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office.
The new superseding indictment, which identifies each of the gunshot victims by their initials, also adds an 11th count for discharging a firearm during a crime of violence.
