Hundreds of mourners came to the first wake for NYPD Detective Brian Simonsen, who was killed in the line of duty last week, reports Stefanie Dazio for Newsday.
A number of those in attendance wore green ribbons to coordinate with the NYPD flag.
Detective Simonsen, 42, was shot in the chest and killed by friendly fire while responding to a robbery attempt last Tuesday in which two men brandished real-looking guns at police officers and pointed them at innocent bystanders.
