He must have lied on his permit application

Have the bloods integrated? Cool.

A reputed gangbanger with at least 25 prior arrests shot an NYPD lieutenant assigned to thwart surging city gun violence during a “fierce” struggle with cops in the Bronx, authorities said Saturday.

The lieutenant was among at least four cops on patrol just before midnight in Morrisania who spotted Jerome Roman — a 26-year-old member of the Lyman Place Bosses gang, a subset of the Bloods — holding a firearm, police said.

When cops confronted Roman — who sources said is known to pack heat and is on the NYPD’s criminal possession of a weapon recidivist list — he bolted about 50 feet before they tracked him down, Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said at an early morning press briefing outside Jacobi Medical Center.

“Stop reaching for it! Stop reaching for it, dude!” an officer is heard on a harrowing bodycam video of the incident released by the NYPD Saturday.

“A fierce struggle for the gun ensued, leading to a lieutenant being shot in the ankle. The officers did not return fire as they made the arrest & recovered the loaded gun,” the NYPD tweeted.

Just another night in NYC, but I did notice this part of the perp’s bio; if anyone were interested in slowing the internecine slaughter of gang members, I can think of an approach that might be more effective than a Kiss and Release” strategy for violators of one of the strictest gun laws in the nation.

Roman has been arrested at least 25 times, including eight felonies and 17 misdemeanors, with a criminal history that includes charges for menacing, gang assault, and other offenses — along with a sealed, “gang-related” murder bust from December 2014, according to records and sources.

His most recent bust was last November 14, for criminal possession of a semi-automatic pistol, law enforcement sources said.
