One Year Later: Remembering the Tragic Shooting in a Brooklyn Subway Car

Today marks one year since the tragic shooting in a subway car in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.

The incident occurred at rush hour, just before 8:30 in the morning when, Frank James put on a gas mask, threw two smoke bombs, and then fired with a pistol, more than 30 times while the train was approaching station 36 of line N.

The shooting left 29 people injured, including 10 who were directly hit by gunfire, but miraculously no one was killed.

The shooter disguised himself in a jacket and helmet similar to what construction workers wear.

In January of this year, James pleaded guilty to federal terrorism charges.

He faces life in prison when sentenced on 11 counts.
