Bronx, Queens Communities Mourn Slain NYPD Officer Islam After Midtown Shooting
NYPD Officer Didarul Islam, a 36-year-old Bangladeshi immigrant and father of two with a third child on the way, was killed during a mass shooting at an office building in Midtown Manhattan. Islam, who had been an NYPD officer for three and a half years and worked an off-duty security detail at the time of the shooting, is mourned as a hero who made the ultimate sacrifice protecting others. His death has deeply affected his family and the tight-knit Bangladeshi community in the Bronx and Queens, where he lived and was heavily involved, including frequent visits to his local mosque. Neighbors and relatives describe profound grief, especially for his young children and pregnant wife, while community leaders and officials highlight Islam's role as a role model and embodiment of dedication to public service. Funeral arrangements are pending, and a vigil is planned outside his Bronx precinct. The shooter, identified as 27-year-old Shane Tamura, took his own life after the attack that also claimed three other lives.
