Two New York Police Department officers were shot and wounded in a streak of “assassination attempts” that concluded Sunday morning when the gunman behind the attacks opened fire inside an NYPD station house on Longwood Avenue in the Bronx neighborhood.

ABC News reports that two officers “narrowly escaped with their lives when a gunman fired into their patrol van Saturday night, wounding one of them in an attack officials called an attempted assassination.” One of the officers in that attack — the one at the wheel of the marked patrol car — was struck in the chin and neck but “avoided serious injury.”
