纽约地铁枪击案嫌犯自首：我在麦当劳
砰！砰！砰！砰！4月12日，正值早高峰，纽约地铁里猛然响起枪声。一名男子在引爆烟雾弹后，向人群连续开了33枪，造成至少29人受伤，包括一名中国公民、两名华裔学生。纽约市长亚当斯说，通勤列车沦为了“战区”。
当地警方随后公布了嫌疑人弗兰克·詹姆斯的照片，并悬赏5万美元追凶。案发第二天，嫌犯便落网。
这可不是因为纽约警察给力，而是詹姆斯主动向警方报告了行踪。被捕时，他甚至露出了诡异笑容。
嫌犯被捕后露出笑容。福克斯新闻称，他此举就是在嘲弄调查人员。
4月12日凌晨4点11分，一辆面包车驶过连接着史泰登岛和布鲁克林市的大桥。2小时后，车停在了街边。一名身穿橙色工作夹克、头戴黄色安全帽的男子下车，然后左手拖着行李箱、右手拿着黑色背包，从监控镜头中消失。
上午8点半左右，地铁进入日落公园附近的第36街地铁站时，该男子戴上了防毒面具，然后引爆烟雾弹，并疯狂开枪，打伤了至少10人。惊恐的乘客四处奔逃，混乱又造成10余人受伤。伤者中，年龄最小的只有12岁，还有一名28岁的孕妇。
地铁站附近超市的收银员米兰达说，当时她正在上早班，一名女士跑进来，尖叫着说“车站里到处都是血”，然后跑进了洗手间。
“幸运的是，射击过程中，嫌犯的枪卡住了，否则情况会更糟。”一位执法部门的消息人士对美媒透露。
枪击案现场，乘客躺在站台上。值得注意的是，事发地铁站附近居住着不少亚裔，该站是他们上班、上学的必经之路。
伤者中有两名华裔学生，其中一人脚部受伤，目前已无大碍；另一人则是左腿被子弹击中，被送入医院接受治疗。
案发当晚，纽约州州长凯西·霍楚尔去医院看望枪击案伤者。中枪的华裔学生还躺在手术室里，其母亲通过翻译向霍楚尔哭诉，儿子是她的全部，如果儿子出了事，她就什么都没了。
“她一句英文不会说，一个人在医院坐了一整天，无法理解儿子好端端地坐地铁去上学，怎么会被送到医院去做手术。”霍楚尔表示，自己能感受到这位母亲刻骨的伤痛。
那位受伤的中国公民，目前也在医院接受治疗，情况稳定。中国驻纽约总领馆已在第一时间联系伤者家属提供协助。案发后，嫌犯趁乱逃离了现场，但留下了一把手枪、三个扩展弹夹、两枚被引爆的烟雾弹、两个尚未引爆的烟雾弹以及一把斧头。
疑似嫌疑人留下的一个袋子里装满了烟雾弹等危险物品。更关键的是，那辆面包车的钥匙也被他落下了。
纽约警察局根据那辆车的租车信息锁定了嫌疑人——62岁的非裔男子詹姆斯。
“充满仇恨，充满愤怒”
美国烟酒枪炮及爆炸物管理局也对詹姆斯进行了调查。
他们发现，在枪击现场找到的手枪系詹姆斯2011年购入，地点是俄亥俄州哥伦布市的一家当铺。威斯康星州一家烟花公司也确认詹姆斯曾在该公司购买爆炸物。
纽约警方公布的嫌犯照片。警方再接着往下查，这位詹姆斯，可谓“黑历史”一堆。
他曾9次被纽约警方逮捕，罪名包括盗窃、性犯罪等。他在新泽西也有犯罪记录，1992年因非法入侵被抓，2007年因盗窃和扰乱治安又进去了。
近些年，他没少在社交媒体上发表仇恨言论。
他声称欧洲持续不断的冲突将引发一场种族战争，唯一解决方式就是“以暴制暴”，实施更多犯罪。
“我应该拿把枪，然后开始射击。”“或者我应该搞些毒品，在药力作用下进行扫射或者抢劫老太太。”
想法离谱又可怕。
他形容自己：“充满仇恨，充满愤怒，充满痛苦”。
他曾发视频激动地说，自己被诊断出患有精神疾病，之前在纽约一处庇护所中接受治疗，然而“那里发生的一切都是暴力”。
詹姆斯对刚上任100多天的纽约新市长亚当斯也十分不满。
近期，他还宣称亚当斯的控枪计划“注定失败”，并diss对方并没有采取更多措施打击游民，抨击纽约地铁里“流浪汉太多”“暴力事件增加”。
“我打算杀死我所看到的一切。”在3月初的一则视频中，詹姆斯说道。
枪击案发生前，嫌犯拉着箱子的画面。《纽约时报》采访了詹姆斯的姐姐凯瑟琳，她称詹姆斯“一生都很孤僻”。
她表示，他们只是偶尔联系，上一次通电话已经是数年之前，当时他们的妹妹死于心脏病。他们一生经历很多坎坷，詹姆斯5岁时他们的母亲就去世了，但她认为詹姆斯没有精神问题。
“我在麦当劳”
从案发到逮捕嫌犯，纽约警方只用了不到30个小时。
但这起枪击案的缉凶过程，还是让美国人心里相当不是滋味。
去年秋天，纽约交通管理部门称，已在全市所有地铁站安装了摄像头，这将把罪犯送上“伸张正义的快车道”。
结果，这次出事了，再一查监控，当时地铁站里的摄像头很多都没有正常工作，只能眼巴巴等着民众提供视频、图片等线索。
为什么会出现这种情况？巧合吗？是只有这个地铁站这样，还是所有地铁站的摄像头都是糊弄事的？
面对质疑，警方表示正在调查。至于能这么快抓到嫌犯，也是因为嫌犯本人的一通电话。
美媒报道称，詹姆斯打电话给纽约警察局：“我想你们在找我。”他告诉警察，自己现在就在曼哈顿下东区的一家麦当劳里。
他还详细地描述了自己穿着什么样的衣服——蓝色T恤、深色裤子、黑色平沿帽，以及他手机快没电了，自己等会可能要去给手机充电。
警方赶过去时，詹姆斯果然在麦当劳附近的一个信息亭站着为手机充电。
美国检方表示，已按照“在公共交通设施实施恐怖主义活动”的罪名起诉詹姆斯，最高刑期为终身监禁。袭击背后的动机还有待调查。
据《每日邮报》报道，美国今年已经有近500起重大的地铁犯罪报告，比去年多了224起，交通系统犯罪率飙升近50%。纽约通勤者出现恐慌，表示“害怕乘坐地铁”。
纽约地铁枪击案：凶手社媒言论充满歧视
拍影片宣称”我很想杀人”
过去三年， 詹姆斯在Youtube账户名为prospertoftruth88的频道上传超过400个视频，包括拍摄自己长篇大论、谈论他认为存在不公的社会议题；11日最新发布的影片中，他提到认识一名因暴力犯罪入狱的人，可以指认对方但是会遭遇后果，”我经历过很多事，我可以说我很想杀人，我想看到别人死在我面前，但我也思考到一个现实，‘嘿，我并不想坐牢’。”
呛治安政策”想扫射游民”
3月1日上传的影片中，詹姆斯批评亚当斯在纽约市推行一系列改善治安的政策，隔着屏幕向亚当斯喊话，”兄弟，你在干嘛呢？这游民问题究竟是什么情况？”；他表示每个车厢全都挤满游民，忍受不了，”这传达给我的讯息是：我应该拿一把枪，开始扫射这些混蛋”，这段话也促使警方加强保障市长的安全。
“我们应有更多的大规模枪击，对，我们应该看到更多枪击案，让‘黑鬼’明白，问题从来不是出自枪手，而是他所身处的环境，造就他的存在”，对非裔美国人怀有仇恨；此外，影片中他也经常语带种族歧视、厌女、厌倦广泛社会的态度，针对教堂、工作职场的虐待或暴力文化宣泄不满。
自揭曾接受精神治疗
3月20日发布的影片中，詹姆斯透露已离开威斯康星州密尔瓦基(Milwaukee)的家，正往”危险区域”(danger zone)出发，”你知道，这当然引发了很多负面的想法，我确实有很严重的创伤后压力。”
詹姆斯90年代曾在纽约市居住，他自揭当时在布朗士区接受精神健康治疗，并在皇后区接受职业训练，但过程中却长期遭到虐待，因此对亚当斯提出的心理健康项目不看好；1992年他曾在曼哈顿切尔西(Chelsea)小区的一间商店当学徒，但两年后被开除。
“我不会向因愤怒而伤害纽约客的人表示屈服”，亚当斯针对詹姆斯的影片响应，不接受其在Youtube视频作出的指控、不接受枪手的行为，”纽约客不做这种事，我们会让(枪手)付出代价。”
Brooklyn Subway Shooter Frank James Pleads ‘Not Guilty’ to Terrorism Charges
https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/frank-james-accused-subway-shooter-pleads-not-guilty-1352854/
Frank James, 62, suspected of opening fire in a crowded New York City subway station has been taken into custody and charged with a terror-related offense, officials announce on Wednesday in New York City, United States on April 12, 2022.
ACCUSED SUBWAY SHOOTER Frank James pleaded not guilty to charges of terrorism and the use of a weapon in a violent crime at a Friday arraignment in Brooklyn federal court.
James is suspected of shooting 10 people on Tuesday, April 12, on an N-line subway train during the morning rush hour commute. Police arrested him in Manhattan’s East Village a day later after multiple people told authorities they’d seen him walking around the area. He has since been held without bail.
Before James entered the room, two U.S. Marshals examined the underside of the table where James’ representation for the day, Federal Defender Mia Eisner-Grynberg, sat. A hush fell over the room as he walked in, towering over the pair of marshals. He wore a prison uniform: an olive-colored button-down shirt with short sleeves and matching pants. A blue surgical mask partially covered his graying beard stubble, but not his nose.
When Judge William F. Kuntz, II asked James how he was feeling today, James said, “pretty good.” Then, he answered a series of further questions from Kuntz, saying that he was born in the Bronx and has a GED and “some certificates from various trade schools.”
During the half-hour arraignment, Kuntz read the six-page indictment issued by a grand jury on May 6 in its entirety. The document charges James with terrorism on a mass transit system, claiming he “discharged a firearm at passengers on a Metropolitan Transportation Authority subway car,” and a second charge for using a firearm in a violent crime. If convicted, federal authorities have indicated they will seek forfeiture of James’ assets, including the Glock 17 pistol he is accused of firing aboard the subway car.
When Judge Kuntz asked James’ lawyer if the defense was prepared to plead, Eisner-Grynberg said, “Yes, we plead not guilty to each count.” The judge then asked James how he pleaded to count one and count two — he answered “Not guilty” to both. After the proceedings, he walked out the same door he’d entered, holding his hands behind his back.
The judge upheld a magistrate’s detention order to keep James in jail ahead of his trial; the defense made no application for bail. The government moved to designate the case a “complex case,” but the defense argued this was premature because they haven’t yet received or reviewed the scope of the government’s discovery. Kuntz agreed to wait until the next deadline, July 25, to decide on the issue.
According to the original complaint, James traveled from Philadelphia in a rented a U-Haul van to carry out the attack. New York City Police Department cameras allegedly captured James’ van as it crossed the Verrazano Narrows Bridge into Brooklyn in the early hours of that April morning. He parked near a subway entrance and donned a hard hat and orange vest, the complaint says. A couple of hours later, around 8:30 am, passengers started calling the police, reporting “multiple gunshots and explosions” on the subway.
On the morning of the attack, images proliferated on social media, showing commuters lying on the ground, bleeding, on the subway platform. The shootings came at a time where violent crime on the city’s mass transit system has captured headlines.
In YouTube videos seemingly posted by James, he criticized New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ plans to improve safety on the subways. “He can’t stop no fucking crime in no subways,” James said in one video, where he talked about the number of exit and entry points along a subway line. “He may slow it down, but he ain’t stopping shit.” In other videos, James, who is Black, went on racist rants targeting Black, white, Latino, and Jewish people. In one video, he called 9/11 “the most beautiful day in the history of this country.” At James’ first court appearance April 13, his federal defenders requested a psychiatric evaluation. However, they said they were requesting it as medical treatment, not to assess James’ competency to stand trial.
James’ lawyer offered no comment to reporters after the arraignment. If convicted, James faces the possibility of life in prison.
Accused NYC subway mass shooter Frank James whines about media coverage, says he's 'not too good' in jail

By Valentina Jaramillo and Ben Feuerherd; July 25, 2022
Accused subway mass shooter Frank James whined about media coverage of his case Monday, telling a judge he hasn’t been “too good” since getting locked up on federal terrorism charges.
James — who allegedly shot 10 people on a subway car in April — was asked how he was doing by Judge William Kuntz during a brief appearance in Brooklyn federal court Monday afternoon.
“Not too good, your honor,” replied the 62-year-old, wearing a tan jail uniform and sporting a short gray beard.
Kuntz then asked the accused gunman if he’s watched or listened to any baseball while in custody at Brooklyn’s notorious Metropolitan Detention Center.
“I’ve watched a bit of baseball, yeah,” James said, before adding: “I’ve read some things in the press I’m not too happy about.”
The judge then turned to prosecutors and James’ defense attorneys, who agreed to set a tentative trial date of Feb. 27, 2023.
Prosecutors from the Eastern District of New York have recovered a trove of evidence in the case, including surveillance video, DNA from the gun and witness statements.
James — who was arrested following a 30-hour citywide manhunt — faces life in prison if convicted of committing a terrorist attack on a mass transit system.
The maniac allegedly sprayed more than 30 bullets on a packed Manhattan-bound N train as it motored through a tunnel below the street of Sunset Park on April 12.
James shot 10 people and injured 29 in a shooting on a subway train in Sunset Park, Brooklyn in April.
The judge set James’ tentative trial date for Feb. 27, 2023.
The attack injured 29 people, including 10 who were shot, authorities said.
