The suspect has been charged with Attempted Murder in the Second Degree, Assault in the First Degree, Reckless Endangerment in the First Degree, and Criminal Use of a Firearm.

He was arraigned before Judge Silva and bail was set at $750,000 cash, $900,000 bond, or $1,000,000 partially secured bond. The defendant has been remanded to the Rockland County Jail pending further court proceedings.
