A man who opened fire on a Brooklyn subway train last year is scheduled to be sentenced Thursday. Frank James pleaded guilty to terrorism charges earlier this year for the April 2022 mass shooting aboard a Manhattan-bound rush hour subway. He faces the possibility of life in prison. His attorneys requested a reduced sentence of 18 years, pointing to the lack of fatalities as evidence James didn't intend to kill anyone. Federal prosecutors say James spent years carefully planning the subway shooting in order to “inflict maximum damage at the height of rush hour.” They said the fact that no one was killed was “miraculous.”

The attack wounded victims ranging in age from 16 to 60 as the train pulled into a station in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Before the shooting, James, who is Black, posted dozens of videos online under the moniker “Prophet of Doom,” ranting about race, violence, his struggles with mental illness and a host of unnamed forces he claimed were out to get him.
His attorney, Mia Eisne-Grynberg, suggested that while James may have initially planned to kill people, he changed his mind in the heat of the moment.
