The widowed newlywed of New York Police Officer Wenjian Liu expressed her sorrow publicly for the first time Monday, reports AM New York.
Pei Xia Chen and Liu were married just two months ago.
Chen’s voice quivered as she spoke.
“The Liu family would like to express our gratitude and appreciation to the police department, our neighbors, the entire New York City community, friends, and co-workers, for the help and support they provide. We would also like to express our condolences to the officer [Rafael] Ramos’ family, this is a difficult time for both of our families. “But we will stand together and get through this together.”
Liu came to America 20 years ago Christmas Eve. You can learn more about Liu’s life in AM New York and in the video tape below from WABC.
