Hundreds of people lined the streets and freeway overpasses during a 50-mile procession in honor of a slain Southern California deputy who was laid to rest Saturday.
Riverside County Sheriff deputy Darnell Calhoun, 30, was fatally shot on Jan. 13 in the city of Lake Elsinore after responding to a call about a domestic disturbance. He was killed just two weeks after another deputy in the department was slain in the line of duty.
Calhoun's casket was draped in an American flag and an enlarged photo of him in uniform was featured on the stage of the packed auditorium where a memorial was held. Danny Young, a retired lieutenant from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department and a Calhoun family friend, said he knew Calhoun since he was 10.
