Before the doors of Blake-Lamb Funeral Home were even open, dozens of people — many in uniform, some not — were already in line to get inside to pay their respects to Officer Andrés Mauricio Vásquez Lasso, a police officer who was shot and killed last week.
People waiting to enter huddled inside a tent adjacent to the Oak Lawn funeral home. Dozens of officers, including two on horseback, stood in front. And a fire engine parked across from the funeral home extended its ladder over 103rd Street with an American flag hanging at the end.
