James Gorycki was 51 when he was killed on December 7, 1993, during the mass shooting on a Long Island Rail Road train as it passed through Queens, New York. He was one of six people who died when a gunman opened fire on commuters; nineteen other passengers were wounded.

Three passengers — Michael O’Connor, Kevin Tierney, and Mark McEntee — tackled the shooter and subdued him, and police took him into custody. The gunman, identified as Colin Ferguson, was charged with multiple counts of murder, attempted murder, and other offenses. At trial he represented himself and cross-examined his own victims; he was found guilty of murder and attempted murder and sentenced to 315 years to life.
