(USA Today) Mourners lined up early Saturday to pay their respects to a New York City police officer shot to death while sitting in a patrol car in Brooklyn last month.
Uniformed police officers from across the country joined family, friends and loved ones for the wake of officer Wenjian Liu at the Aievoli Funeral Home in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn. The wake was scheduled to last until 9 p.m
NYPD Police Commissioner William Bratton arrived just before 1 p.m. and was joined by New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. The two drew salutes from some officers as they entered the funeral home together.
