Man Wields Shotgun At Police From Apartment Window: Detectives

ELMONT, NY — A man was taken into custody after displaying a shotgun at police.

Officers were responding to a disturbance call on Friday morning in Elmont when the man pointed the weapon from a second-floor open window.

Police took cover and were able to talk the man into coming outside, but he refused to follow verbal commands, detectives said.

An Electronic Control Device was used to bring Jose Rodriguez, 73, of Elmont, into custody, Nassau police said.

He was transported to an area hospital for treatment and further evaluation.

Rodriguez, who is expected to be arraigned on Saturday in Hempstead, faces charges that include three counts of menacing a police officer, assault and criminal possession of a weapon.
