Gunman Nabbed After Shooting Second NYPD Cop: Reports
A gunman marched into a Bronx police stationhouse on Sunday morning and shot an NYPD lieutenant in the arm—hours after an “assassination attempt” on two officers sitting in a van in the same precinct, according to several reports.
The New York Post and NBC New York, citing sources, said the suspect was arrested and is believed to be behind both incidents.
The first shooting happened 8:30 p.m. Saturday night when an officer sitting in the driver’s seat of a marked police van in the Bronx was hit in the face after a man started a conversation and then pulled a gun. A second officer in the police van was unharmed, according to NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea.
