Law enforcement officers from across America showed up in their dress uniforms Saturday to mourn Bronson Kaimana Wei Mun Kaliloa, the first Hawaii County police officer shot and killed in the line of duty.
They were joined at Hilo’s Afook-Chinen Civic Auditorium by firefighters, county, state and federal law enforcement officers and top government officials from across the islands.
Hundreds of others, dressed more casually in aloha wear and slippers, spent hours filing past a display that included Kaliloa’s cremains and a portrait of the 46-year-old police officer, who died July 18.
He was shot during a traffic stop on July 17 in Mountain View.
