A longtime veteran with the New York City Fire Department Bureau of Emergency Medical Services was fatally stabbed Thursday in an unprovoked attack during her lunch break, police said. A suspect has been taken into custody. Lt. Alison Russo-Elling, a 25-year FDNY EMS veteran, was stabbed multiple times Thursday afternoon while on duty in Queens, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said at a press conference. The 61-year-old was rushed to a hospital in Queens, where she died from her injuries, Adams said. Russo-Elling was getting food during her break, while wearing clothes that clearly indicated she was a member of FDNY, when a 34-year-old man brandished a knife and stabbed her multiple times, NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig said. The suspect, identified as 34-year-old Peter Zisopoulos, was taken into custody after barricading himself in a nearby building, CBS New York reported. He was charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon.
