Three NYPD officers were honored Tuesday for their efforts to bring dozens of school children to safety during last month's deadly U-Haul rampage in Brooklyn. jennamdeangelis reports.
In bodycam video, you can hear the urgency in NYPD Officer Hector Santini's voice as he raced toward a group of children to get them out of the street, and harm's way. The safety of the Bay Ridge Prep students is all he, Officer Frank Ingebrethsen and Lt. John Vitale could thinking about after learning a man was driving a U-Haul truck erratically nearby.
"What was the first thing that came to your mind when you came here and did see the kids outside?" CBS2's Jenna DeAngelis asked. "Emotions were high. We didn't know which way this guy was going, and priority one was get them in the school, get them out of the street and take them out of harm's way," Vitale said.
Elected officials and school staff praised the officers for their quick thinking and heroic actions, honoring them with awards Tuesday in a ceremony at the school. "I was so appreciative not only of what happened that day, but I'm appreciative of all the work that went in beforehand to prepare these officers for that situation," said Charles Fasano of Bay Ridge Prep.
