Hundreds Attend Brownlee Funeral

Monday to mourn the Weld County deputy killed during a shootout last week. Sam Brownlee was killed last Tuesday when an accused car thief wrestled his service weapon away from him and shot him three times. Christ Community Church Pastor Alan Kraft says he understands why people would be mad at God for Brownlee's death.
Kraft also says death is an unwelcome intruder which brings pain and suffering but that God feels the same way at death as humans do. He adds people need to trust God's plan, despite the problems life might have. The man who shot Brownlee, 20-year-old Ruben Reyes, was also killed during the shootout.
