TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - Hundreds of mourners turned out to remember a Topeka police corporal killed in the line of duty.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that officers from more than 70 law enforcement agencies were on hand when Corporal Jason Harwood was buried Saturday.
The observance featured the reading of a letter to Harwood from his surviving identical twin brother, Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper Jeremy Harwood. Also, the German shepherd who was Harwood's K-9 partner before his promotion to corporal two years ago lay down in front of the casket.
Harwood was a decorated 15-year police veteran who was shot after he pulled over a car last weekend. Prosecutors have announced plans to seek the death penalty against the man charged in the killing.
