Hundreds of first responders, family and community members filled Sun Valley Community Church in Gilbert Saturday to pay their respects to Gila River Police Officer Joshua Briese, who was killed on duty last week.

Briese, 23, was a recent police academy graduate. He had been working for the Gila River Police Department for less than a year and he was wrapping up field training when he was shot.
