CHICAGO – Hundreds crowded into Roman Catholic Church on Chicago's South Side to remember the second of two officers struck and killed by a train. Officer Eduardo Marmolejo was celebrated as a humble hero during his funeral Saturday. Gov. Bruce Rauner, Mayor Rahm Emanuel and police Superintendent Eddie Johnson attended the funeral. To Marmolejo's eldest daughter, the 36-year-old was a dedicated father of three who taught her that it often is small actions in life that have the biggest effect. Rebeca Marmolejo said it breaks her "heart into a million pieces" to never see her father again. Marmolejo's service came one day after the funeral of 31-year-old officer Conrad Gary. The two were stuck by a passing train Monday while trying to find someone who had been shooting a gun.
