SEAFORD, N.Y. — Mourners packed a Long Island church Friday and spoke of bravery, and forgiveness, at the funeral of an ATF agent killed by friendly fire while trying to stop a robbery.
A silver hearse carried the body of John Capano to a church in Seaford, the quiet, middle-class Long Island town where he grew up and where he died. Thousands of law enforcement officers stood at attention as it passed. Pipers played “Amazing Grace” as the casket was carried into the chapel.
During the service, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder called Capano “a true patriot” who possessed “extraordinary courage.”
