A man suspected of ambushing New York City police officers during a shooting rampage last month was arraigned Wednesday on a 52-count indictment that includes multiple charges of attempted murder.
The suspect, 45-year-old Robert Williams, was arraigned in Bronx Supreme Court on 11 counts of first-degree attempted murder, 12 counts of second-degree attempted murder, 11 counts of aggravated assault upon a police officer, 12-counts of first-degree attempted assault, two counts of second-degree assault and four counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon.
"Fortunately, this mission to massacre police officers failed," Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark said at a news conference following William's arraignment, calling the targeting of police officers "an abomination."
As a courtroom full of police watched, Williams pleaded not guilty to the charges. He was ordered held in jail without bail.
