Lights and sirens led the procession of fallen Officer William Alden Elliott Thursday morning, and mourners clumped together on bridges and along roadways to pay their respects, just as they did Wednesday when a similar event was held for Deputy U.S. Marshal Thomas Weeks.

Both officers were slain in a shootout with a 39-year-old suspect, who was shot and killed by officers in the incident that turned into a standoff in a typically quiet Charlotte neighborhood Monday afternoon. A task force made up of law enforcement from different agencies combined to serve warrants for a felon with a gun and eluding, but were met with gunfire, police said.

The procession carrying Elliot got underway at the Mecklenburg County Medical Examiner's Office at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, and traveled to the Bennett Funeral Home in Newton. The hour-long route is stretching down N.C. Highway 16.

Elliot was working as a Marshal the day he was killed in the line of duty, but he also worked as a North Carolina Department of Adult Correction officer and was a 14-year veteran, starting out as a probation and parole officer, according to The Associated Press.

“They loved their work, and were passionate about their roles in protecting our communities,” Department Secretary Todd Ishee said in a news release of both Elliott and fallen Officer Samuel Poloche.

Poloche was also killed in the violence Monday, which the AP reported to be the deadliest attack on U.S. law enforcement since 2016.

 “These officers died as heroes and made the ultimate sacrifice in their service to our state. We remember them, we honor their service, we send our deepest condolences to their families and friends, and we pray for healing for all affected by this tragic incident,” Ishee said of the two men.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Officer Joshua Eyer was also killed in the violence Monday. A funeral is set for him Friday morning at Charlotte’s First Baptist Church.

Four other officers were hurt in the shooting, but they are expected to recover.
