Hundreds of people, including police officers from throughout Colorado, paid tribute Friday during a procession and funeral service for a suburban Denver police officer who was fatally shot on Sunday while trying to break up a family disturbance.
Their emergency lights flashing, row after row of police motorcycle officers led the procession that included a hearse bearing Dillon Vakoff's casket to Flatirons Community Church in Lafayette. Residents saluted the Arvada police officer along the route. Hundreds of officers from agencies around the state attended, The Denver Gazette reported.
