Hundreds of officers throughout county paid final respects Tuesday to a West Virginia officer gunned down last week in the line of duty.
Cassie Johnson of the Charleston Police Department was responding to a parking complaint when she was shot Dec. 1. She died two days later.
Authorities said she shot and wounded the man, who was arrested and charged with her killing. A color guard escorted her flag-draped coffin into the Charleston Coliseum and Convention Center where her funeral was held. “Patrolman Cassie Johnson had the perfect blend of a warrior’s mindset and a shepherd’s heart,” Charleston police Chief James “Tyke” Hunt said in a eulogy, according to Fox 11 Charleston.
