Dozens of police officers, several fighting back tears, were giving sombre salutes as the bodies of two Palm Springs officers killed Saturday are loaded into hearses for transfer to a coroner's office.
The officers' flag-draped coffins were wheeled out of the hospital and gently placed in white hearses.
