BURLINGTON, Skagit County — A week after a shooting spree claimed the lives of six people, a mournful community came together this afternoon to bid farewell to the sheriff's deputy believed to be among the first to be killed.

Beneath clear blue skies, a crowd estimated at 4,000 gathered in the football stadium at Burlington-Edison High School for a memorial service for Skagit County deputy Anne Jackson who was killed while responding to a call in the tiny community of Alger. Among those in attendance were hundreds of law enforcement officers from throughout the state as well as Canada.
