Thousands of mourners gather for funeral of NYPD Officer Didarul Islam, killed in NYC shooting
NEW YORK — NYPD Officer Didarul Islam, the cop gunned down in a Midtown Manhattan mass shooting inside a Park Ave. office building, was posthumously promoted to detective first grade during his funeral on Thursday as a sea of mourners, mostly police, gathered outside to pay their respects. An estimated 15,000 people were on hand. Islam was one of the four people killed on Monday by rampaging gunman Shane Tamura in what police Commissioner Jessica Tisch called a 'self-centered, senseless crusade of violence,' as she announced Islam's promotion. '(Tamura) tore a father from his children, a husband from his wife, a son from his family, and, in that moment, he ripped the world away from everyone who knew and loved NYPD Police Officer Didarul Islam,' Tisch said. 'His journey was cut too short. But the way he lived this job — with steadiness, with heart and conviction — he reflected everything this title represents.' Islam's father, Abdur Rob, suffered a minor heart attack after rushing to New York-Presbyterian Hospital Weill Cornell and being told that his son had not survived the 6:30 p.m. bloodbath. On Wednesday night, Mayor Eric Adams visited with Islam's family and spoke with Rob and other family members. 'There is nothing more tragic than having a parent bury their child,' Adams said at the funeral Wednesday. 'The pain is so immense. It is so intense, and we (are) thinking about it over and over again.' The mayor said that talking to Rob made him think about his own son: 'I want to say sorry as one parent to another parent. We must live in the spirit of Officer Islam and what he stood for.' Adams and Tisch also went to the 47th Precinct stationhouse where Islam worked on Wednesday to attend morning roll call and talk to cops mourning their colleague's death. Islam had been a cop since 2021. He was in uniform working a paid security detail in the building at E. 51st St., which had been authorized by the NYPD, when Tamura stormed inside with an assault rifle and started firing, hitting him repeatedly in the torso. Tamura, a resident of Las Vegas, also killed building security guard Aland Etienne, 46, and Blackstone executive Wesley LePatner, 43, in the lobby. He then took an elevator to the 33rd floor where he killed Julia Hyman, 27, and shot at but narrowly missed hitting a fleeing cleaning woman, before taking his own life. In all, he fired more than 40 shots from a high-powered AR-15 assault rifle, littering the lobby and 33rd floor with bullets and blood, NYPD Chief of Department John Chell said Wednesday. 'I've been doing this 32 years,' Chell said, getting choked up at times during the interview on Fox 5's 'Good Day New York.' 'Just getting there on that scene and realizing you had casualties and there was an active shooter going on. This is not a normal event.' 'We lost four great New Yorkers,' he added. 'They didn't deserve this. This was pure evil. Senseless.' Speaking to other pressing issues of the day, the imam overseeing the service challenged police, local elected officials and mourners to rid the world of Islamophobia and end the war in Gaza. 'Do not stand with him in death, stand with his people in life,' Imam Zakir Ahmed told an overflow crowd at the Parkchester Jame Masjid mosque as he prayed for Officer Islam, a Bangladeshi immigrant, loving husband and father, and dedicated police officer. 'He lived at a time when, too often, people like him are feared. You cannot take our sacrifice but ignore our suffering.' 'We commit ourselves to not just to honor him, but to building a world worthy of his sacrifice,' he said. 'A world where freedom is for all, not for some.' ________

Man who burned a Virginia city councilman intended to kill him, police say
DANVILLE, Va. (AP) — Police say a man who doused a Virginia city councilman in gasoline and set him on fire told investigators he wanted the attack to be fatal, according to charging documents available Thursday. Officials say the motive appears personal and unrelated to Lee Vogler's work as a public official. After Wednesday's attack, the 38-year-old father of two was flown by medical helicopter to a burn unit in North Carolina. The hospital hasn't provided an update on his condition. According to police, witnesses and Vogler himself, Shotsie Michael Buck-Hayes, 29, poured gasoline on the councilman after barging into his workplace at a local magazine. Buck-Hayes chased Vogler outside and ignited the gas, later telling police he intended for the flames to kill him, according to the documents. Buck-Hayes has since been charged with attempted first-degree murder and aggravated malicious wounding. Edward Lavado, an attorney representing him, declined to comment to The Associated Press on Thursday. At the scene, Vogler was able to tell multiple witnesses that Buck-Hayes had burned him, according to the charging documents. The complaint doesn't give details on how Buck-Hayes was taken into custody. The records were first reported by the Danville Register and Bee. Vogler has served on the Danville City Council for more than a decade and is known as a fixture of the small city near the Virginia-North Carolina state line, about 140 miles (230 kilometers) north of Charlotte. The police documents list a Danville address for Buck-Hayes as well. Andrew Scott Brooks, editor and publisher of Showcase Magazine, says the attacker forced his way into the office despite the door being locked and went straight for Vogler. 'The next thing, Lee is running through the office covered in gasoline, yelling for our officemate to call 911,' Brooks said Wednesday. Buck-Hayes was being held without bail in the Danville City Jail, records show.
