Gunman who 'ambushed NYPD cop in patrol car and shot lieutenant inside precinct hours later' recently RELEASED from jail
 - [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] NYPD lieutenant Jose Gautreaux was shot in the arm on Sunday morning, 12 hours after officers Paul Stroffolino, 31, and Brian Hanlon, 33, were shot at in the Bronx on Saturday night
- Video shows him laying on the floor after he ran out of bullets around 8am and a cop fights him on the ground
- Footage from Sunday shows approximately a dozen cops respond and subdue suspect Robert Williams
- Williams has a long rap sheet and was recently released from jail on a weapons possession charge
- Williams was paroled in 2017 for an attempted murder shooting conviction in 2002 in the Bronx. He subsequently carjacked a woman, crashed the car and engaged in a gunfight with members of the NYPD
- Commissioner Dermot Shea called the suspect a 'coward' Sunday and labeled both attacks this weekend attempted 'assassinations'
- 'It is only by the grace of God and the heroic actions of those inside the building that took him into custody that we are not talking about police officers murdered inside a New York City police precinct,' Shea said
- Officer Stroffolino was shot in a patrol van on Saturday night. He got a hero's welcome from fellow cops as he was released from hospital Sunday
- Authorities questioned a woman believed to be Williams' girlfriend Liza T Valdez, a communications technician for the NYPD
