Funeral for slain Tarpon Springs officer

Story here

Hundreds of cars and motorcycles accompanied the hearse that carried Officer Charles Kondek. Part of U.S. 19 saw traffic cleared on one side to make way for the mourners.

From the article:

The Florida police officer fatally shot by a fugitive while on duty was mourned by family, friends and fellow officers at an emotional funeral service Saturday. The community in Tarpon Springs, just west of Tampa, lined the sidewalks as the procession for Officer Charles Kondek traveled from Idlewild Baptist Church to Grace Memorial Cemetery.
