A Clinton police officer killed in the line of duty will be laid to rest on Monday.
A funeral service is scheduled for 11 a.m. for Christopher Ryan Morton, 30. After the funeral, Morton will be buried at a cemetery in Knob Noster, Morton’s hometown.
ABC 17 previously reported that Morton and two other officers were wounded on Tuesday after they were sent to the wrong house while responding to a 911 call made from another town.
The suspect, James Waters, barricaded himself in a home and began shooting at officers.
By the time officers got to Morton hours later, he was dead.
