The notorious “Son of Sam” killer, David Berkowitz, will undergo an emergency heart surgery at an Albany hospital, sources said Monday.
Berkowitz, 64, terrorized New York City in a shooting spree that murdered six people from 1976 to 1977 and claimed a possessed dog gave him orders to kill.
He wounded seven with his .44 caliber Bulldog revolver.
Many of his victims, including a couple and friends, were sitting in cars.
“Inmate Berkowitz has been transferred to an outside hospital and remains in the custody of the Shawangunk Correctional Facility,” the New York State Department of Corrections said in a statement.
