An NYPD lieutenant has been shot in the arm inside a New York precinct and the suspect is believed to be responsible for two police-involved shootings in the Bronx borough in just 12 hours.
Robert Williams – who was arrested on murder charges in 1992 and 2002 – was taken into custody after he strolled into the 41st precinct and fired at Lt. Jose Gautreaux before 8am.
Police believe Robert Williams is responsible for the latest shooting and the one involving officers shot at in a patrol car just blocks away from the station on Saturday night.
He has a lengthy rap sheet and was paroled from prison in 2017 after an attempted murder conviction, Shea said.
Williams had only recently been released from custody on charges of heavy weapon possession and was due in court in the coming days.
