Algona, Iowa — Dozens and dozens of men and women in uniform filed into the Algona Community School gym Wednesday morning for the funeral of the Algona policeman who was shot to death last weekend.
Algona Police Chief Bo Miller made a public statement just before the funeral began.
It’s the first time Miller has spoken in public since Officer Kevin Cram was shot to death last weekend.
The Algona Police Chief described Cram as a role model.
The suspect in the shooting, 43-year-old Kyle Lou Ricke of Algona, faces a charge of first degree murder. He’s still being held in the Brown County Jail in New Ulm, Minnesota, after being arrested in the nearby town of Sleepy Eye, Minnesota about four hours after the shooting.
