Tyrone Robinson, 19, was charged with possession with intent to deliver marijuana and possession of a firearm while in possession of marijuana, according to Cmdr. Thomas Verdi.

The article links to another article which suggests the cop was in uniform.

"It's disheartening anytime anyone shoots at a uniform police officer in this country, and Providence has faced that," said Providence Public Safety Commissioner Steven Pare. "We're thankful today that he was well trained, well prepared, he had his vest on, and what he did probably saved his life."
