Hundreds honour security guard killed in New York office tower shooting
New York, Aug 10 (AP) Hundreds turned out to honour the life of Aland Etienne, the security guard who was killed last month at a Manhattan office tower by a gunman targeting the headquarters of the National Football League. An immigrant from Haiti who came to the US in 2017 with a dream for a new life, Etienne was remembered as a dedicated father and grandfather who was faithfully working at his security post when the gunman suddenly opened fire on July 28. 'My brother will be remembered as a hero. A humble, steady, kind New York hero," said Smith Etienne, Aland's brother, in a statement. 'Aland made the ultimate sacrifice, choosing bravery and selflessness over fear. In his final moments, he acted to protect others." The memorial service was held on Saturday in Brooklyn for Etienne, 46, the last of the four shooting victims to be laid to rest. A New York City police officer, an investment firm executive and a real estate firm worker were also killed. The gunman wounded a fifth person before taking his own life. Like Etienne, slain NYPD Officer Didarul Islam, who was working a department-approved private security detail that day, was an immigrant. Islam was Bangladeshi-American. Manny Pastreich, president of Etienne's union, 32BJ SEIU, said Etienne represents not only essential workers who are the backbone of New York City, but also immigrants who come to the US to build a better life and contribute in both large and small ways. 'His legacy will serve as a reminder of the contributions of immigrants, and the sacrifices, they make every day," Pastreich said in a statement. Security officers from buildings across New York held a vigil last week to honor Etienne.

Officials said the operation in the Dul area of the hilly district in Jammu zone followed specific inputs and was still on. It came a day after two army personnel died in an ongoing gunfight with Pakistan-trained terrorists in south Kashmir's Kulgam in one of the valley's longest counterterrorism operations. 'On noticing the security forces closing in, the hiding terrorists (in Kishtwar's Dul), believed to be two in number, opened fire. This was promptly retaliated by forces, leading to the gunfight,' an official said. Reinforcements have been rushed to the area. The Army's White Knight Corps confirmed the operation. 'Troops carrying out an intelligence-based operation established contact with terrorists in Dul. Gunfire exchanged. Operation under progress,' White Knight Corps posted on X. Pakistan-based terrorists who infiltrate the border use Kishtwar as a corridor to get to the upper reaches of Kathua before moving to Udhampur Doda and the Kashmir valley. Kishtwar shares boundaries with Kashmir's Anantnag, as does Doda. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Europe Travel Hack That Saves You Hundreds on Trips!
