Former Sen. Joe Lieberman dies at 82; fallen NYPD officer honored

In this edition of Eyewitness News Extra Time, we follow breaking news on the death of long-time Connecticut Senator and one-time vice-presidential candidate Joe Lieberman. Lieberman served as a senator for 24 years and was a re-count away from the vice presidency as Al Gore's running mate in the disputed 2000 election. His family says he died due to complications from a fall. He was 82 years old. Lieberman's funeral will be Wednesday in his hometown of Stamford, Connecticut. Meanwhile, mourners gathered Wednesday night to remember 31-year-old fallen NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller. A candlelight vigil was held in his hometown of Massapequa Park, where Eyewitness News reporter Jim Dolan was live. And joining our show was a woman who knows that tragedy too well. We talk to Lisa Tuozzolo, the widow of Sgt. Paul Tuozzolo, who was shot and killed by a domestic violence suspect in 2016. Seven years later, Lisa has turned her tragedy into a force for good.
