Police are still trying to determine James’ alleged motive behind the attack, the AP reported and are still asking anyone who was on the N train Tuesday morning to contact them with information.

James is charged with a federal terrorism crime on a mass transit system. Law enforcement, however, has found no connection between James and any terror organizations, the AP reported.

Police said James had the means to carry out additional attacks after they found more ammunition and other gun-related items in a storage unit in Philadelphia.

James’ credit card and a key to a van he had rented were found in the subway station Tuesday. The gun used in the attack was registered to him, purchased from a licensed dealer in Ohio in 2011, police said.
