Her fellow EMTs saluted as EMS Lieutenant Alison Russo-Elling's casket was put into the back of an ambulance. The 61-year-old was killed in a brutal, unprovoked attack in Queens.
The FDNY draped purple and black bunting Friday on the exterior of EMS Station 49 where EMS Lieutenant Alison Russo-Elling served in Queens.
The deadly attack happened near the intersection of 20th Avenue and Steinway Street in Astoria around 2:15 p.m. on Thursday. "She served the city for 25 years. She was a World Trade Center first responder. She was cited multiple times for her bravery and her life-saving work. And she was absolutely beloved on this job," Kavanagh said.
"In one moment, just a short time away from her planned retirement, in one moment a lifetime of work came crashing to an end," Chief of EMS Lillian Bonsignore said."Lt. Russo is the second EMS woman, second mother, second EMS member to be murdered on these streets in the last five years," Bonsignore said.
