Robert Williams burst into the stationhouse on Longwood Ave. just before 8 a.m. and blasted the lieutenant, identified by sources as Officer Jose Gautreaux, in the arm, authorities said. Williams threw himself on the floor in surrender and tossed his gun away, sending it skittering across the station house floor.
“I will point out that this coward immediately laid down, but only after he ran out of bullets,” NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea said at a press conference Sunday. Williams, 45, was released on parole in 2017 for an attempted murder conviction, records show.
