NYC gives final salute to slain NYPD officer

Thousands of somber NYPD officers in their dress blues arrived at St Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan to attend a funeral Mass for their fallen brother, Officer Jason Rivera. Roman Catholic Cardinal Timothy Dolan presided over Rivera's service, held in Spanish and English in recognition of his Dominican heritage. Many of the city´s top leaders were attending, including Mayor Eric Adams and Senator Chuck Schumer. Rivera, 22, and his partner, Wilbert Mora, 27, were fatally shot by career criminal Lashawn McNeil, 47, while responding to a call about a domestic dispute in Harlem last week.
