The NYPD gal pal of accused cop-shooter Robert Williams didn’t know he planned to shoot up a Bronx station house when she drove him there, the woman’s mother told The Post.
“He’s a friend, and he lied to her,” Liza Valdez’s mom, who identified herself only using the name Virginia, said as the two arrived at Valdez’s Evergreen Avenue apartment in the Bronx Sunday.
“He told her to take him to his mom’s house, and he ran out (of) the car into the precinct.”
Asked if she knew what Williams was about to do, Virginia said, “no she didn’t.”
A sobbing Valdez declined to comment.
Virginia called her “a great woman.”
“She’s a good daughter,” she said. “She works, she’s a college grad.”
Valdez, who sources described as a probationary communications technician with the NYPD, was questioned at the 41st Precinct stationhouse for hours Sunday before being released.
Police said she drove Williams to the stationhouse around 8 a.m. when he walked in and opened fire with a 9 mm handgun — wounding a police lieutenant in the arm.
Williams dropped the gun and surrendered after he ran out of bullets, police said.
He is also suspected in the wounding of another Bronx cop on East 163rd Street hours earlier.
Police officials last night would not comment on Valdez, saying only that the case remains under investigation.
