‘Miracle’ daughter born two years after her father’s death is escorted by NYPD to her first day of school

Angelina Liu, the “miracle” daughter of late NYPD Det. Wenjian Liu, went to her first day of school escorted by New York police officers.

NYPD’s darling: Deputy Chief Chaplain Monsignor David Cassato joined members of the NYPD’s 84th, 62nd and Brooklyn South precincts in accompanying the 4-year-old student to her first class.

Today is the start of school, and kids across the city are headed off to classes. I wish the best of luck to all the students starting their first day of school, especially Angelina Liu, daughter of the @NYPD84Pct‘s Det. Wenjian Liu, who was killed in the line of duty in 2014. https://t.co/BLzeTtV9Wu
