Prosecutors allege Victor Kingsley was seeking to retaliate against New York police officers who had arrested him in 2014 for weapon possessions and other charges that were later dropped. Wray unwittingly detonated it, causing severe burns that killed him a few days later. Wray, 73, “was an unintended and innocent victim of this cowardly attack,” said John Miller, a deputy police commissioner. He faces a possible term of life in prison if convicted of charges of using a weapon of mass destruction and illegal transport of explosives. ——–This story has been corrected to show Wray was the owner of the house where the device was left, not a resident there.
