New felony charges against a man accused of shooting people on the Brooklyn subway train and shooting with a gun, including a firearm, indictment and witness statements

Frank James faces 10 counts – one for each gunshot victim – of committing a terrorist attack or other violence against a mass transportation system, and one count of discharging a firearm during a crime of violence, according to the indictment filed in December.

The updated total shows the number of people wounded by gunshots, with their victims identified in the indictment by their initials. CNN contacted a court-appointed attorney for James for his reaction to the new counts.

There is no change in the evidence that will be introduced at the trial according to a letter from prosecutors with the new court document.

James could face up to life in prison on each of the 11 counts if he was convicted, according to the US Attorney.

James talked about a person who ended up in jail after committing violence on the day before the shooting. He talked about the consequences but wasn’t sure if he could identify.

The suspect was known to New York City authorities before the attack. He has nine prior arrests in the city dating from 1992 to 1998 for offenses including possession of burglary tools, a criminal sex act and theft of service, NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig said.

According to court documents, the man accused of shooting passengers on the Brooklyn subway intends to plead guilty in federal court Tuesday.

Court-appointed attorneys for James wrote in a letter to the court last month that their client, who had earlier entered a not guilty plea on two charges, “wishes to schedule a guilty plea to the superseding indictment.”

James is to plead guilty in about nine months for allegedly wearing a mask, setting a smoke device and shooting at people on a subway train in Brooklyn.

Hourari Benkada, one of the wounded, said that he sat next to a man wearing a reflective vest who let off a smoke bomb on the N train.

“And all you see (is) smoke – black smoke … going off, and then people bum-rushing to the back,” Benkada said. A woman is pregnant in front of me. I was trying to help her. I had no idea that there were shots at first. I just thought it was a black smoke bomb.

She told me she was pregnant with a baby. I hugged her. And then the bum-rush continued. I got pushed, and that’s when I got shot in the back of my knee.”

How a subway tip turned into a f**king prison: the death of a NYC teen and his experience with mental health workers

James was arrested a day later in Manhattan’s Lower East Side after calling in a tip on himself. Items left behind at the scene, including a credit card, a set of keys, a construction jacket and a gun – were tied back to James by investigators.

I wanted to kill people when I was in that situation. I wanted to watch them die in front of me. But I thought about the fact that, hey man, I don’t want to go to no f**king prison.”

In another video posted in February criticizing New York Mayor Eric Adams’ plan to address safety and homelessness in the subway, James spoke about his negative experience with city health workers during a “crisis of mental health back in the ’90s ‘80s and ‘70s.”
