Algona, IA-  A vigil was held in downtown Algona on Sunday in honor of fallen police officer Kevin Cram.

Radio Iowa reports that the 33-year-old officer was shot and killed while serving an arrest warrant on Wednesday, September 13th.

Algona Mayor Rick Murphy addressed those who met in front of the Kossuth County Law Enforcement Center.

“As we gather to recognize and honor a great police officer, husband, father, brother, and friend, we come together in support and solidarity,” Mayor Murphy says. “I’ve always known that Algona was a special place, and the manner in which our community has come together in the past few days truly reflects that.”

The funeral for Cram will be held on Wednesday at 10:30 AM in the Algona High School gymnasium.
