Two police officers shot and killed were remembered by family, colleagues and the El Monte community, when a sea of people gathered for a vigil Saturday night.
Olga Garcia, the mother of slain El Monte Police Officer Joseph Anthony Santana, 31, was speaking through tears at a news conference Friday outside LAPD police headquarters.
The man who shot and killed two El Monte police officers died at the scene of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, according to the Los Angeles County coroner.
