Six officers were shot and two are still in critical condition. Lives are changed, hearts are broken. A stunned city lines the streets for miles as thousands of police cars and motorcycles follow the big red fire truck that Carry's him to his final resting place.

What amazing photos. It is so sad to see this but I am glad to see he was honored.
Policemen and firemen both really take care of their own, don't they? Looks like he had a very moving service, but what a tragedy that he was killed.
very moving. and very sad.
This is so sad. We also live in constant fear because our son is a K-9 police officer up in Michigan. I don't even like to hear about his nights at work.
Police officers give their lives to keep us safe. That is quite a sacrifice!
Ernie and I have our heads bowed in honor of the fallen HERO.
We have our paws crossed fur the others who were injured.
Blessings on the First Responders.
Such a beautiful service.
Thank you for sharing your photos! May god bless our men in blue!

Hi Y'all,
My Humans have watched as such a sad procession passed them en-route to the cemetery. It is truly amazing to see officers from across the U.S. assemble to honor a fallen officer.
Y'all come back now,

Which is why I have a police memorial license plate. Those are some amazing photos as well.

A beautiful and fitting tribute for this officer, but so sad - for his family and friends... for his department. A horrible story.
What a tribute though.
Thanks for reminding all of us to thank and honor all those who sacrifice their lives for us!
MOM once again has tears in her eyes. She sat for a while along the road as the fire truck carrying his body pasted by. For whatever reason it has affected her deeply. I think it's because she hold in such high honor and respect those who serve in such a selfless way.
Thanks for posting. My paws are crossed for those who were wounded, their families, and for Officer Francom's wife and children. Rest in peace brave sir.

The city of Ogden honored a hero today. God Bless Officer Jared Francom and his family.

While this country has a lot of ongoing issues, it is with pride that we still stand and honor our fallen soldiers, policemen and firefighters. It would be impossible to live in such a world without the courage of such individuals.
Rest in Peace.

I can see why your hearts are heavy, such a sad story! We're lucky that there are some very brave people out there looking out for us and our humans.....
Your pal Snoopy :)
How sad but what a great send off they gave him.
How very, very sad. What would we do without those brave people who put their lives at risk to protect the rest of us? Thank you for this beautiful and moving tribute to a true hero.

As soon as we heard "ogden" on the news last week we thought of you guys immediately and hoped it wasn't anyone you knew...not that it makes a difference - it is just a tragedy for everyone in your little city.
Rest in peace.
Luv,

We are very sad to hear about this. What an impressive service the city provided. Thank goodness for the heros who put themselves at risk to protect and serve us. We owe them so very much.
Your photos are so reminiscent of funerals for fallen officers in the Bay Area. So very poignant.
What a sad day for your city and our country. Sending up prayers for everyone!
