Mourners honor slain Texas trooper at funeral
In New Braunfels a large crowd attended the funeral of Randy Vetter a 28 year old Texas state trooper described as a gentle hero. His service drew more than 100 law enforcement vehicles from across the region and about 500 people stood outside as residents listened to an audio feed. Vetter died four days after being shot during a traffic stop when the suspect Melvin Hale approached his car with a rifle. Hale faces capital murder charges and potential death penalty. Vetter leaves a wife Cynthia and eight month old son Robert.
