Thousands gather to remember life of Abbotsford, B.C. officer killed on duty
ABBOTSFORD, B.C. — A police pipe band, motorcycles and a riderless horse were part of a procession for an Abbotsford, B.C., police officer who was killed while on duty two weeks ago.
A parade of first responders, government employees and officers dressed in uniforms of blue and red marched along the procession route with the hearse carrying Const. John Davidson’s remains.
The riderless horse, a symbol of a fallen officer, followed the hearse.
The 53-year-old was killed Nov. 6 in an exchange of gunfire between a suspect and police who were responding to a report of a possible stolen vehicle.
