Illegal immigrant who allegedly shot 2 NYPD officers at 'point-blank range' indicted on 20 charges
Fox News
An illegal migrant from Venezuela was indicted on Wednesday after he allegedly shot two New York City police officers this month.
The charges stem from a June 3 incident in which NYPD officers tried to pull Mata over for driving the wrong way on a one-way street when he allegedly shot two officers – one point-blank in the chest and the other in the thigh. Greg Wehner is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.
"An attempt on the lives of two police officers simply making a traffic stop should offend every New Yorker. The grand jury returned serious charges against the defendant, including two counts of attempted murder in the first degree," Katz said. "The defendant is accused of shooting two New York City police officers at point-blank range after they attempted to stop him from driving the wrong way down a one-way street in East Elmhurst."
