Public Funeral Service Held for Federal Officer Killed in Oakland During Floyd Riot

Breitbart:

A public memorial service was held Friday for a federal officer killed last month outside the Federal Building in Oakland, California.

David Patrick Underwood, 53, was laid to rest on Friday after being shot and killed on May 29 outside Oakland’s Federal Building around 10 p.m. during the George Floyd protests and the subsequent rioting, KGO reported.

Nearly 600 law enforcement officers, family, and friends attended the event for the two-hour ceremony in Pinole, California, at the high school where Underwood was a superb baseball player in the 1980s.

Some people wore masks; others did not. Social distancing was mostly ignored as people packed in to pay tribute to Underwood for one last time. Underwood’s body lay in a blue casket on a gold stand.

Underwood’s sister said these past few weeks have “been a roller coaster, a horrifying roller coaster.”

Officials say Underwood’s May 29 murder took place after a white van drove by and a shooter fired at Underwood and another police officer. An active-duty Air Force member by the name of Steven Carrillo was eventually arrested on the suspicion that he went to Oakland with an accomplice to “kill cops.” more
