Friends and family will say a final farewell to fallen Minneapolis police officer Jamal Mitchell in his home state of Connecticut. Mitchell's funeral begins at 11 a.m. and his final resting place will be Evergreen Cemetery in New Haven. Mitchell, 36, died trying to help the gunman who killed him during a chaotic shooting last month. A memorial service was held in Maple Grove, where Mitchell lived with his fiancee and children. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara called Mitchell "heroic as a man unto the very end" and he has been posthumously awarded the department's Medal of Honor and Purple Heart. Mitchell was the third Minnesota police officer killed this year.
