Accused subway shooter Frank James bought smoke bombs, other fireworks in Wisconsin

MILWAUKEE, WI. – The smoke bombs used by the crazed man accused in the Brooklyn subway shooting were purchased at a store in Wisconsin, not far from the site of the 2020 Kenosha shootings.

Frank James, 62, who’s been hit with federal terror-related offenses over the N-train bloodshed, bought the smoke bombs and other fireworks on June 21, 2021 at Phantom Fireworks in Racine County, according to a receipt of his purchase obtained by The Post.

In all, James purchased six canister smoke bombs – including the two he allegedly set off on a crowded subway as it pulled into 36th Street station before firing 33 rounds with a 9mm semiautomatic Glock, striking 10 victims.
