A Brooklyn cop killed in the line of duty was gifted a headstone Monday more than a century after he was gunned down.
The crook had just robbed the United Cigar Store located on Brooklyn’s Fulton Street when Grottano spotted 26-year-old William Rogers fleeing from another patrolman. Despite being off duty, Grottano joined in on the chase.
