NEW YORK — Frank James, accused of opening fire on a packed New York City subway car in April, has been indicted on terrorism charges by a federal grand jury in Brooklyn.
James has been held since his April 13 arrest following a 30-hour manhunt. He is accused of detonating two smoke canisters inside a Brooklyn subway station during the morning rush on April 12 and then firing a Glock handgun at least 33 times, injuring 10 people.
James had been initially charged with one count of committing a terrorist act on a mass transit system. Late Friday, federal prosecutors added an additional charge, accusing James of discharging a firearm during a violent crime.
