A New York City police officer killed during a shooting at a Manhattan office tower is being laid to rest. The funeral of Officer Didarul Islam will take place Thursday at Parkchester Jame Masjid Funeral Home in the Bronx. The 36-year-old will then be buried at a cemetery in New Jersey. Islam was among four people fatally shot Monday in a midtown building housing the National Football League’s headquarters. The gunman also shot and wounded a fifth victim before killing himself. An immigrant from Bangladesh, Islam had worked his way up the nation’s largest police force, serving as a school safety agent before becoming a patrol officer.
