Shooter gets 23 years to life for ambushing New York City police twice in 12 hours, wounding 2
16h
NEW YORK (AP) — A shooter who ambushed New York City police twice in 12 hours, wounding two officers, has been sentenced to 23 years to life in prison.
Robert Williams, 47, pleaded guilty last month to two counts of attempted murder of a police officer in the February 2020 shootings in the Bronx.
But he said during his sentencing Friday that he didn't have deadly intent.
“I apologize to my family, the precinct and the cop. I wasn't trying to kill nobody," Williams said, asserting that police had beaten and used a stun gun on him in the past. Prosecutors have said Williams told investigators after his arrest that he was “tired” of police.
Bronx Judge Ralph Fabrizio was unmoved.
"Your actions are inexcusable," the judge told Williams on Friday.
