Second officer shot in Bronx hours after ambush
A gunman walked into a police station in the Bronx and started shooting early Sunday, wounding an officer just hours after a similar unprovoked attack that injured a different officer in a patrol van, according to police officials.
Sunday’s shooting happened at the headquarters of the 41st police precinct, according to NYPD spokesman Hubert Reyes. He said the injured officer was in stable condition at Lincoln Hospital in New York City.Two security-camera videos, posted on social media, captured the shooting. In one of them, a man is seen walking into the precinct house lobby before briefly disappearing off screen. Then, he rushes into a side room with his arm extended, as if pointing a gun, as two people inside run away.
The shooting inside the precinct headquarters came just hours after another attack in the same section of the Bronx, involving a man who bore a close resemblance to the one depicted in the security-camera videos. Two officers narrowly escaped with their lives when a gunman fired into their patrol van just before 8:30 p.m Saturday.
The officer at the wheel of the van was grazed in the chin and neck but avoided serious injury. He was expected to be released from the hospital Sunday. Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said at a late-night news conference that the attack “should outrage all New Yorkers.”“He is lucky to be alive,” Shea said. “He is expected to make a full recovery and it is a miracle.”In 2017,
