People line the streets of Boulder to honor slain police....
Officer Eric Talley!
Boulder, Colorado, continued to mourn slain Officer Eric Talley on Wednesday.
Hundreds lined the streets as a hearse transferred his body from the coroner's office to a funeral home in Aurora. Many placed their hands over their hearts and some held American flags.
Many public safety vehicles joined the procession.
Talley, 51, was one of 10 people killed when a gunman opened fire in a Boulder grocery store on Monday afternoon. He was the first Boulder officer to arrive at the King Soopers store and lost his life trying to save others.
Also on Wednesday, Talley's patrol vehicle was parked in front of the police station. It quickly became a shrine as mourners stopped by throughout the day to pile flowers, wreaths, cards and other tokens around and on top of it.
So sad....his life taken from his wife and seven children...for no reason !!!

Another senseless mass murder. My heart goes out to the families and friends of all of the people who died.

And today it was announced that Boulder Police used the handcuffs belonging to the officer killed in Monday's mass shooting to formally place the shooting suspect into custody, police said in a tweet Thursday.
"This week several Boulder Police officers & others responded to a local hospital to formally place Monday's shooting suspect into custody," police said in the tweet. "As they did, officers informed him the handcuffs used that day were those of Officer Eric Talley. The suspect was then taken to jail."
