The Brooklyn subway shooter was indicted Saturday by a federal grand jury with charges of terrorism and discharging a firearm.
Frank James, 62, could face life in prison if convicted of either of the federal charges.
AT LEAST THREE KILLED AND FOUR INJURED IN SUSPECTED TERROR ATTACK IN ISRAEL
James was arrested on April 13 after a 30-hour manhunt after 10 people were shot on a New York City subway. No one was killed, but a total of 29 people were injured during the April 12 attack. At the scene, police would later find a Glock 17 9mm semi-handgun from the subway, two undetonated smoke grenades, fireworks, gasoline, a hatchet, a cellphone, a credit card, and a key to a U-Haul van, the last piece of evidence needed to track James down.
Defense lawyers for the subway shooter have claimed that James was unconstitutionally searched and attempted to throw out some evidence in his case. Prosecutors have yet to respond to the request as of this report.
