In the same church where Paul Book and his wife exchanged wedding vows just months ago, the 21-year-old apprentice San Angelo police officer was paid last respects Wednesday morning by nearly 600 people.
Friends and family packed into Emmanuel Episcopal Church, and more filled a separate overflow room. Lines of people in blue uniforms stood guard along the walls of the church and outside.
When Book was in the San Angelo Police Academy, he would come home and talk for hours about his day at the academy, said Chandice Book, 21, Paul's wife, during an interview after his death.
