A police officer slain in Virginia was brought home to the Hudson Valley for the last time Friday, with a miles-long escort complete with lights, sirens and loved ones paying their respects.
Officer Dominick Nick Winum was fatally shot during a traffic stop in Stanley, Virginia, on Feb. 26. He was 48 years old.
Winum, who was a married father of four and a grandfather, grew up in Walden and graduated from Valley Central High School.
Some people awaited the procession for nearly two hours to honor Winum.
