WPCNR POLICE GAZETTE. February 14, 2006: Thousands of police officers gathered together in the Highlands yesterday for the funeral of Eric Hernandez, the 24 year old city resident, shot to death by a fellow NYPD police officer two weeks ago. The Highlands was cordoned off for 4 to 5 blocks in all directions for the service at St. Bernard's with police and visitors parking as many as 5 blocks away, trekking up South Lexington Avenue in straggling groups of 4 abreast to the church. New York City's Mayor, Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly paid tribute to Mr. Hernandez. Mr. Hernandez was laid to rest in Gate of Heaven Cemetary in Hawthorne.
