“The NYPD detective shot and injured in Woodbridge, New Jersey, symbolizes the courage and dedication of our Detectives’ Fund Association members who put themselves at extreme risk to bring violent repeat offenders to justice,” DEA President Paul DiGiacomo told the news station. “Without their tireless work in tracking down the suspected attempted murderer, he may have struck again somewhere in our community. We are grateful that no funeral is planned and pay tribute to these brave detectives and officers of the Woodbridge Police Department.”
