Murdered Security Officer Laid to Rest:
LAS VEGAS -- A crowd of hundreds, which included family members, friends, elected officials, judges, and law enforcers said their final goodbye to 72-year-old Stanley Cooper.
Cooper was the federal court security officer that was killed in last week's shooting at the Lloyd George U.S. Courthouse.
"He loved being a cop and loved being a CSO and that's all he wanted to do," said Director John Clark, U.S. Marshal's Service.
Prior to the funeral service, there was a procession from the mortuary to the church. A Metro truck carrying the flag draped casket passed in front of the Floyd George U.S. Courthouse where federal employees lined up to pay their respects. The procession then continued along Las Vegas Blvd. and the Beltway and finally ended at Central Christian Church in Henderson.
Senators Harry Reid and John Ensign spoke at the funeral service.
"We can not know how many lives were saved cause Stan Cooper gave his," Reid said.
"My staff and myself were among those who saw Stan on a regular basis. He was always there with a smile," Ensign said.
Cooper was a federal court security officer for 15 years, after 26 years as a Las Vegas police officer and sergeant.
Sheriff Doug Gillespie said the community had lost a truly good man.
He mortally wounded by a shotgun blast fired Jan. 4 by a disgruntled Social Security recipient who also wounded a federal marshal before he was killed.
∼End of Watch - Monday, January 4, 2010
