Two New York police officers stationed in the Bronx were shot and injured in separate incidents on Saturday night and Sunday morning. Officials are calling the incidents targeted “assassination attempts” by a single gunman.

The suspect, who is in police custody but has not been identified, has a “lengthy violent criminal history,” Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said at a news conference Sunday. The man was paroled in 2017 after serving more than a decade in prison on an attempted murder charge, Shea said.
