Thousands Expects at Police Officers Memorial

Today in Eugene, thousands of people are expected at a memorial service honoring fallen police officer Chris Kilcullen. The Eugene Police Officer was shot and killed last Friday in the line of duty. Deschutes County Sheriff Larry Blanton says some local law enforcement people will also be there. " We have an honor guard at the Sheriff's Office and we try to participate in everything that we can like that. And so about four or five people from the Sheriff's Office to pay tribute to that slain officer; so not a good situation, seems like there's been way too much of that lately."  The University of Oregon volunteered Matthew Knight Arena for the memorial, and other agencies have stepped forward to help Eugene with the details.
