Alison Russo-Elling , 61, was a World Trade Center first responder and 25-year veteran EMS member who was stabbed in a come-from-behind attack by a stranger when she went to get food by her Astoria stationhouse. She is survived by a daughter.
"We lost one of our heroes," Mayor Eric Adams said at a late Thursday press conference after going to the hospital where Russo-Elling had been taken."She was working for this city, and paid the ultimate sacrifice because of that."
"Members of EMS serve only to help and save other people’s lives. To be attacked and killed in the course of helping others is both heartbreaking and enraging for our department in ways I cannot describe," Kavanaugh said, calling her an exemplary FDNY EMS member."Our hearts break for our entire department and her family."
Russo-Elling leaves behind a daughter, the FDNY said. The NY Police and Fire Widows' & Children's Benefit Fund, also known as Answer the Call, said that they would be providing Russo-Elling's family with $50,000"to help alleviate any financial concerns during this unimaginably difficult time."
