YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In a murder that has shocked the city, FDNY Lt. Alison Russo was killed in a random and unprovoked attack on the street in Astoria, Queens. The suspect, Peter Zisopoulous, allegedly stabbed her 19 times before he was chased down and arrested. In a cruel twist, Russo would have been the “first one to come to his aid,” her grieving father said at the funeral.

The FDNY service was “different than any funeral I ever attended,” reports The Post’s Kevin Sheehan. Along with NYC Mayor Eric Adams speaking, Russo’s daughter asked the attendees not to focus on anger but rather the heroic life of her mom. The assailant — who was previously diagnosed with schizophrenia — is being held at Bellevue pending further psych evaluation.
