Youre in the cnn newsroom. Im poppy harlow in new york. Thanks for joining me this evening. 6 00 on the east coast. Our top story, a sea of blue paying tribute to a fallen hero. Thousands of nypd officers lined up for more than a mile today to honor slain officer wenjian liu at his funeral. Look at that image. Wen was gunned down in at ambush in his patrol car last month along with his partner. Devoted family man, hardworking cop, a proud new husband. He just married his wife a few months before he was killed. His widow trembled with tears throughout the ceremony and she thanked her family of blue for attending todays service. He was always there when anyone needed something. When wenjian wasnt working, wenjian cared a lot for the chinese community. He always wanted to do his best to help and support. The very community that he was part of he was loved by his friends, colleagues and our extended family that is here today. I think her words touched so many people today. Sarah joins me n
