PBA CONTRIBUTES $25,000 REWARD IN POLICE SHOOTING
The
Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association of the City of New York,
the union that represents shot police officers Herman Yan and Russell
Timoshenko, is contributing $25,000 reward money to Cop Shot for
information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible
for the shooting.
PBA
president Patrick J. Lynch said:
“We are infuriated by this
act of depravity against two police officers who were doing their
job when fired upon without warning. The 23,000 members of
the New York City PBA will not rest until these cowardly thugs
are brought to justice. We are confident that they will be
arrested in due course, but hope that the additional $25,000 reward
money will speed up the process. Every police officer in
this city, regardless of assignment, is saddened by this barbaric
act and is keeping officers Timoshenko and Yan and their families
in our thoughts and prayers.”
