Slain NYPD Sergeant Paul Tuozzolo

In the wake of the deadly shooting in New York City, the Sergeants Benevolent Association has created a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for the Widows and Children’s Fund, which will be used for education for the children and other needs of the family of slain NYPD Sergeant Paul Tuozzolo.

On November 4, 2016, Sgt. Paul Tuozzolo and Sgt. Emmanuel Kwo, of the 43 Precinct in the Bronx, spotted a vehicle that had been used in an armed home invasion just minutes earlier. After a short pursuit, they and other officers were engaged in a gun battle with a career criminal. Sgt. Kwo was shot in the leg and is recovering. Sgt. Tuozzolo, a 19-year department veteran, was mortally wounded and passed away at Jacobi Hospital. Sgt. Tuozzolo, 41, was the married father of two young children ages 3 and 4 .

All monies raised will go to the Sergeants Benevolent Association Widows and Children’s Fund and will be used for education for the children and other needs of the family of slain Sergeant Paul Tuozzolo. Donations made are given with the understanding that such funds will be a gift to the family.  Please keep Sgts. Tuozzolo and Kwo and their loved ones and colleagues in your thoughts and prayers during this extremely challenging and heartbreaking time.
