MANHATTAN, New York -- The pregnant widow of the NYPD officer killed in last month's Midtown office shooting gave birth to a baby boy on Sunday. Officer Didarul Islam was one of four people fatally shot in the Midtown office building at 345 Park Avenue last month.
The Bangladeshi immigrant “always wanted to be a cop,” his brother-in-law told the Daily News. “He was a hard-working family man.”
The city's police commissioner said baby Arham is one of Detective First Grade Didarul Islam's three children who "will carry forward their father’s legacy."
Police say the officer was standing outside a residential building near West 173rd Street and Amsterdam Avenue around 9:45 p.m. when two men approached him on separate mopeds.
