Just hours after ambushing a pair of cops and shooting one in the chin, an unhinged gunman stormed a Bronx police precinct and emptied his clip — striking a lieutenant before being taken into custody by officers, officials said.

The armed man, identified by sources as Robert Williams, walked into the station house on Longwood Avenue in Huntspoint around 8 a.m. and started shooting, according to the sources.

Lt. Jose Gautreaux was hit by gunfire in the arm, the sources said.

 Attempted assassinations of NYPD cops show it’s time to cool anti-police fury

Video footage shows Robert Williams walking into the 41st Precinct in the Bronx on Sunday morning and opening fire — wounding one cop in what Mayor Bill de Blasio rightly calls “an attempt to assassinate police officers.” He’s also the prime suspect in another assassination attempt the night before, when a bullet just missed the carotid artery of a cop sitting in a marked NYPD van.

This, as Police Commissioner Dermot Shea pointed out, is what comes of extreme anti-cop rhetoric. While both officers should recover fully, it’s “by the grace of God that we’re not planning a funeral.”

Shea pointed to the recent mass “Decolonize This Place” protests, which supposedly aimed at a police-free subway system but were full of “F - - - cops” chants and graffiti.

A police union says the men and women of New York City’s finest are now “declaring war” on Mayor Bill de Blasio following a pair of shootings targeting officers in the Bronx over the weekend.
The fiery rhetoric directed at the Big Apple’s Democrat leader -- who has implemented several measures critics say are hostile to police – comes as the NYPD filed charges against suspect Robert Williams in both attacks.

“NYPD cops have been assassinated because of you,” the tweet added. “This isn’t over, Game on!”
