NEW YORK — The NYPD rookie cop who fatally shot the killer of Officers Jason Rivera and Wilbert Mora was promoted to detective Tuesday.
NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell proudly handed Sumit Sulan a new detective shield during a brief ceremony held at NYPD headquarters.
“The actions of officer Sulan likely saved the lives of the other officers responding to that apartment,” Sewell said. “Like his partners, he is an example that police officers are ordinary people who are called upon to do extraordinary things and they often do, risking everything.”
