Two weeks ago, hundreds of police officers traveled from across the country to salute fallen Pennsylvania State Trooper Landon Weaver. Thousands more lined streets through Blair County as the young man was taken to his final resting place. It was an incredible showing of support.
Weaver was shot and killed while responding to a Protection From Abuse Violation in Huntingdon County on December 30, 2016.
In his eulogy Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf said, “Every single one of us lost a hero.”
Weaver’s family contacted WTAJ News because they wanted to send a thank you to all the support they have received during this difficult time.
