A sea of blue uniforms accompanied family and friends at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church in Massapequa, New York for the funeral of slain NYPD officer Jonathan Diller.
Family, friends, and a sea of blue uniforms gathered for the funeral of slain New York Police Department officer Jonathan Diller on Saturday. Mourners filled St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church and crowded the areas outside as a funeral mass was celebrated for the 31-year-old officer. Diller’s widow, Stephanie Diller, received a standing ovation when she approached the church lectern to deliver her remarks.
Diller's coffin was carried out of the church as the hymn 'Lift High the Cross' was played and sung by attendees. Diller was fatally shot on Monday during a traffic stop in Queens after a man with 21 prior arrests allegedly shot him in the stomach as Diller was trying to make the suspect — Guy Rivera, 34 — exit the vehicle. Rivera reportedly opened fire on Diller and his partner at about 5:45 p.m.
