EMS Lieutenant Killed While on Duty in NYC

Alison Russo-Eling died 29 September, 2022. Astoria EMS Lieutenant Randomly Stabbed To Death On The Job: Police | Astoria, NY Patch

Alison Russo-Eling, 61, a 24-year department veteran who had served as a first responder in the Sept. 11 attacks, was attacked while on duty shortly after 2 p.m., police said. She had just left EMS Station 49 to get food, wearing clothing that clearly identified her as a paramedic, NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig told reporters during a news conference.

At the corner of 20th Avenue and 41st Street, a half-block from the EMS station, a 34-year-old man brandishing a knife "viciously attacked" Russo-Eling, stabbing her numerous times across her body, Essig said.

She died at a nearby hospital.

The guy was known to some people on the street, they chased him to an apartment where he barricaded himself. A hostage negotiator, backed up by NYPD's Emergency Service Unit eventually took him into custody.

Do we believe that the non-prosecuting attorneys of New York will actually ensure that he is held accountable? I don't believe that.

So what kind of monster decides to randomly end a person's life for no reason, or only because he didn't like EMS personnel, or whatever?

What has happened to our large cities? Civilization was nice while it lasted.
