Frank James pleaded guilty Tuesday to federal terrorism and weapons charges, taking responsibility for the April 12 mass shooting on a crowded N train in Brooklyn that left 29 straphangers injured, including 10 with gunshot wounds.
But in entering the guilty plea to terrorism counts and one weapons charge, and confessing to his crimes, James, 63, told the court that his intention that day was solely to “seriously injure” subway passengers, not kill them.
