Frank James claimed he was passenger, not shooter, during horrifying NYC subway attack

NEW YORK — Accused subway shooter Frank James tried to play dumb and claim he was just another passenger on the train when officers and FBI agents questioned him after his arrest, according to a new court filing in the Eastern District of New York.

The questioning came after James, 63, was arrested for boarding a rush-hour train on April 12, setting off a smoke bomb and firing a gun 33 times as the train approached the 36th Street station in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.

Ten people were hit, but miraculously, no one died.
