MILWAUKEE (AP) - Family, friends and colleagues are giving a final farewell to a Milwaukee police officer killed in a crash with a suspected drunken driver.
Three days of mourning in keeping with the Hmong tradition ended Monday with a public funeral service for Kou (koo) Her at the Good Hope Center, procession to Graceland Cemetery and interment.
Her was killed June 18 while on his way home from his shift at the District 4 police station. The 27-year-old officer was remembered as upbeat and kind, easygoing and quick to laugh.
Milwaukee Police Chief Alfonso Morales said Her played “a big role in closing that gap” between Hmong community members and officers.
