Officer Eric Talley was remembered for his love of family and his bravery at a public funeral in Lafayette, Colorado, on Tuesday -- one week after giving his life as the first police officer to arrive at the King Soopers store where a gunman killed him and nine others.
"This is part of that bravery, in that, rightfully so, everyone in that store that fateful day ... was trying to get out," Father Dan Nolan, parochial vicar at Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Littleton, told mourners, including the slain officer's family and scores of law enforcement officers. "But some were trying to get in. It was all of you -- officers, lawmen, law enforcement. Going into harm's way, going into the mouth of hell. And one did not return. So this is for you.More Related News
