Hundreds of Chicago police officers have begun to line the streets Thursday as the department prepares to lay to rest fallen Chicago Police Officer Andrés Vásquez Lasso, who was shot and killed in the line of duty in Gage Park last week.
“This is one of the saddest ones I’ve ever seen," said former alderman Bob Fioretti, who attended a memorial for the officer Wednesday. "I walked in that room and you could have heard a pin drop. People were just taken back I think because of his age but because of what he did for the city.”
