HACKENSACK -- An alleged gang member was sentenced to 20 years in prison for shooting at a cop, a report says.

Robert Leonardis, 25, was sentenced in Bergen County Superior Court Friday in the 2013 incident, according to NorthJersey.com.

Leonardis, believed to be a member of the Bloods, pleaded guilty in June to attempted murder and three charges of aggravated assault in a wild 2013 shootout that left four officers injured.  

In July 2013, Leonardis shot at two police cruisers that chased him near a housing project on First Street. One of the bullets narrowly missed an officer's head as it flew through a windshield, officials said at the time.

The shots then caused a collision when the second cruiser crashed into the rear of the first.

Police eventually caught up with Leonardis and shot him 15 times, injuring his leg and abdomen and confining him to a wheelchair.

Leonardis, who also plead guilty to two other incidents, was sentenced to concurrent terms of 10 years for an unrelated stabbing and five years for a burglary.

Five people were also arrested in connection to the illegal gun Leonardis used in the shooting.
