MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) ? Students at Hofstra University wore white ribbons at their graduation ceremony to honor a fellow student who was accidentally killed by a police officer tackling an armed intruder.
Sunday's ceremony came two days after Andrea Rebello died when the masked man entered her off-campus home on Long Island.
A police officer aiming at the would-be robber opened fire, hitting the 21-year-old college junior as well as the ex-convict who had entered the house.
On Saturday evening, flags on campus were at half-staff and students held a silent outdoor in front of a photo of the young woman. Surrounded by candles and flowers, they sang "Ave Maria."
Rebello's funeral is scheduled for Wednesday in Sleepy Hollow, which is in Westchester County.
