Police, firefighters, line streets, overpasses as murdered Springfield cop returns home for final time

Boston police officers lined Albany Street this afternoon as the body of Springfield Officer Kevin Ambrose, slain on a domestic-violence call, was loaded into a hearse at the state medical examiner's office there for the journey to his funeral in Springfield.

Police officers and firefighters also lined overpasses across the Massachusetts Turnpike, while State Police blocked traffic from heading westbound so that the funeral procession could speed on its way. The procession exited Boston around 5:30 p.m.
