Two NYPD officers were shot during a 12-hour span Saturday night into Sunday morning, allegedly by the same gunman, sources told CBS2.

The suspect, identified as Robert Williams, 45, initially shot at two officers, wounding one, as they sat in their marked police van in the Bronx, sources said, and later walked into the 41st Precinct, located at 1035 Longwood Avenue, and opened fire, wounding another officer.

Both wounded cops are expected to survive. The suspect was quickly taken into custody after he ran out of bullets.

See? New York's limit of two round magazines worked! Only two people were shot.

I'm sure the NYNY mayor and NY guoober are thinking new ways to punish gun owners for the miscreants behaviors


Prayers for the officers injured as well as their families, and a speedy recovery

Thank goodness his gun jammed, or else there would've been a massacre of a dozen or more, oh wait, this is a police precinct. I was thinking it was a group of unarmed sheep civilians in a building, who thanks to NYC laws are unable to defend themselves. :roll:
Shea said on Sunday the gunman entered the precinct through a public entrance before firing several rounds at point-blank range at uniform officers and a civilian member of the NYPD. A male lieutenant, identified by sources as Lt. Jose Gautreaux, was hit in the left arm and returned fire.

Surveillance video within the precinct shows the suspect get down on the precinct house floor after his 9mm Sig Sauer pistol jammed. At least 12 officers moved in to detain him, CBS2’s Dave Carlin reported.

A Sig Sauer jammed? I thought they were even better than Glocks!

I wonder if the policemen did not have weapons on them inside the precinct?
