Passage 2 Frank James, the man arrested on suspicion of setting off smoke grenades and shooting 10 people at a Brooklyn subway station Tuesday morning, will make his initial court appearance Thursday, authorities said. James was charged in federal court with violating a law that prohibits terrorist and other violent attacks against a mass transportation system, according to Breon Peace, US Attorney for the Eastern District of New York. If convicted, he could spend life in prison, Peace said. “As alleged, the defendant committed a heinous and premeditated attack on ordinary New Yorkers during their morning subway commute,” Peace said in a statement. “All New Yorkers have the right to expect that they will be safe as they travel throughout our great city and use our vital transportation systems.” The timing of James’ appearance in federal court will be confirmed Thursday morning, according to US Attorney’s Office spokesman John Marzulli. James had been named a “person of interest” by the New York City Police Department after possessions of his, including a key to a U-Haul he rented, were found at the scene. He was declared a suspect in the shooting Wednesday, and the city issued an emergency alert to residents saying James was “wanted” and asking for tips. The 62-year-old called police tips hotline Crime Stoppers Wednesday to tell authorities he was at a McDonald’s in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, two law enforcement sources said. The call dropped moments later and was followed by a 911 call from another person who said they had spotted James. Police responded to the McDonald’s and did not find James, but shortly after, officers came across a bystander who flagged James to them, a senior law enforcement source said. He was arrested without incident. “Like all New Yorkers, I am deeply grateful that the suspect in yesterday’s subway shooting has been apprehended and thankful for law enforcement and every first responder whose heroic efforts helped New York City respond to this horrific incident,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said Wednesday. “My heart is with all those who are injured, their loved ones, and the entire Sunset Park community.” The shooting—which started on a subway train as it approached the 36th Street station in Brooklyn’s Sunset Park neighborhoods during Tuesday’s morning commute—left at least 29 people with injuries ranging from gunshot wounds to smoke inhalation. Five remained hospitalized as of Wednesday evening. The gunman fired at least 33 times and struck 10 people, according to NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig.
