A gunman walked into a police station in the Bronx and started shooting early Sunday, authorities say, wounding an officer just hours after he shot a different officer in a patrol van. The same gunman was responsible for the back-to-back shootings, New York City Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said Sunday at a news conference. AdvertisementTwo officers narrowly escaped with their lives when a gunman fired into their patrol van just before 8:30 p.m Saturday. Commissioner Shea said the attack “should outrage all New Yorkers.”The attacks recalled other unprovoked assaults on police officers sitting in their patrol vehicles. In 2017, a gunman killed Officer Miosotis Familia as she sat in her patrol vehicle in the Bronx.
