abc.net.au/news/brooklyn-subway-shooting-frank-james-pleads-guilty/101825740A man who opened fire on a New York City subway train last year, shooting 10 passengers in a rush-hour attack, has pleaded guilty to federal terrorism charges.
According to prosecutors, James set off a pair of smoke grenades and fired a barrage of random shots inside the train, bloodying passengers as it moved between stations in Brooklyn's Sunset Park neighbourhood. He pleaded guilty to all 11 counts in his indictment, including 10 counts of committing a terrorist attack against a mass transit system — one for each wounded passenger — after previously vowing to fight the charges.At the hearing, assistant US attorney Sara Winik said James "intended to inflict maximum damage at the height of rush hour".
Officers also found the handgun they said was used in the shooting while tracing records show James purchased the gun from a licensed gun dealer in Ohio in 2011.
