A convicted killer being sought for an armed robbery at a Post Office in 2007 was arrested today after opening fire at US Marshals in Queens, law enforcement sources told The Post
Derome Gray, 40, who served 15 years in prison for manslaughter, squeezed off two shots at the US Marshals Regional Fugitive Task Force closing in on him and an accomplice, Mark Cumberbatch, near 144th Terrace and 175th Street in Springfield Gardens, sources said.
The officers took both men into custody without taking a bullet, sources said.
It was unclear if the officers fired back.
Up to six guns were recovered at the scene, including a Mac 10 and an Uzi, said one law enforcement source.
Gray was released from prison in 2005 after being convicted of first degree manslaughter in 1990, state records show.
He was indicted for his participation in the June 8, 2007 armed robbery of the Archer Avenue Post Office in Jamaica, Queens.
