Thousands of police officers and other invited guests gathered at Ottawa’s Canadian Tire Centre Thursday morning for the funeral of Ontario Provincial Police Sgt. Eric Mueller.
Mueller, 42, was shot to death last week while responding to a call in Bourget, Ont.
The private ceremony was attended by Mueller’s family, guests, and members of the OPP and other police and emergency services.
About 9,000 officers were expected to attend, an OPP spokesperson told CBC Thursday morning.
