Farewell to Slain Will County Deputy Foley at 68 Departments
Police officers from 68 departments across Illinois gathered at St Andrews church in Romeoville to honor Denis Foley, a Will County Auxiliary Deputy killed in the Homer Township ambush. The funeral concluded a grim period of multiple killings in the region, with 14 county deaths and 16 unsolved murders since July. Foley, a 45-year-old widowed father of five, died after a 32 day battle following five gunshot wounds. Nurses recalled his strength and kindness as priests and officers prayed for his family.
