Friends and family held wake services in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn Tuesday for the off-duty policeman shot who was by a fellow officer.

The wake at Woodward Funeral Home at 1 Troy Avenue lasted until 8 p.m. and will resume again tomorrow.

The funeral for Police Officer Omar Edwards will be Thursday at Our Lady of Victory Church.

This comes as witnesses are shedding more light about Thursday night's incident.

Edwards, pictured on the right, was shot and killed last Thursday in East Harlem by Officer Andrew Dunton. Police say Edwards was in street clothes and had his gun drawn chasing a man when Dunton shot him.

Investigators say two other officers on the scene and the man Edwards was chasing have all said they heard Dunton identify himself as an officer before he opened fire on Edwards.

Police Commissioner Ray Kelly says the NYPD has released a new training video titled "Preventing Friendly Fire" for all members of the department to watch.

The revamped eight minute video will be shown to all academy recruits.

The NYPD says it began showing it to all of its officers during roll call and will continue to do so for the next 10 roll calls.

The video features testimonials from police officers who have had confrontations with other officers.

"We do an awful lot of training in this area.. But you can never do enough training," said Kelly. "We're reinforcing our training, putting out a special DVD video."

The NYPD also says the department is surveying undercover officers to learn more about other kinds of incidents where misidentification took place, even if shots were not fired. And, it says it is conducting an independent review of its confrontation training.

Meanwhile, Governor David Paterson says while he is confident the Manhattan district attorney will conduct a thorough investigation, he is open to idea of the state or federal government getting involved.

"Perhaps we need to look at the statistics all around the country. See if there are some parallels that we can draw and try to stop this from ever happening again," said Paterson.

Paterson joined the Reverend Al Sharpton on Monday to meet with Edwards' family and community leaders.

The governor stopped short of saying race was a factor in the shooting, but he did say the circumstances surrounding friendly-fire shootings should be closely examined.
