The final act for a hero sergeant was to shout “Gun!” before taking a bullet intended for a fellow police officer.
An estimated 12,000 people mourned Paul Tuozzolo on Thursday, hailing him as a generous man who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Tuozzolo, 41, a father of two young boys, was shot in the Bronx last
week as cops approached an ex-con cowering in a crashed Jeep Cherokee.
The gunman shot and killed Tuozzolo, but not before Tuozzolo could warn
Sgt. Emmanuel Kwo.
“Sgt. Paul saved my life, Ed,” Ed Mullins, president of the Sergeants
Benevolent Association, recalled Kwo telling him. “He saved my life. He
saw something we didn’t see. He yelled at us, ‘Gun! Gun! Gun!’”
