A Toronto police officer who was fatally shot during a police raid earlier this month was remembered on Wednesday as a man deeply committed to his profession, as family members, fellow officers and officials gathered at his funeral.
Hundreds of people paid tribute to Const. Marc Pinizzotto at the Toronto Congress Centre as pictures of him with family and friends flashed across screens throughout the venue. Photos of Pinizzotto with his wife and two kids, as well as his police colleagues, were also displayed before the crowd.
