Funeral for Toronto police officer killed in GTHA shootings set for Wednesday

The funeral for a Toronto police officer killed in a string of shootings across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton area is scheduled for Wednesday.

Police say Const. Andrew Hong’s funeral will take place at the Toronto Congress Centre.

Hong was fatally shot while at a coffee shop in Mississauga on Monday in a shooting rampage that killed two and injured three others.

The funeral is not open to the public, but will be broadcast.

Officers say the public is invited to watch the procession as it travels from Richmond Hill to the congress centre.

A large number of police officers and first responders throughout Canada are expected to attend the funeral.
