Viewing Continues For State Trooper Killed In Crash

LATROBE (KDKA) - The viewing continues today for Pennsylvania State Police Trooper Michael Stewart.

Stewart was killed in a crash on Friday in Ligonier Township.

Today's viewings were held from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Lopatich Funeral Home in Latrobe.

Pennsylvania State Police gathered to pay respects to one of their fallen.

"Last night, I was talking to troopers from West Virginia. I got to meet a trooper from Georgia, just a few minutes ago. It's amazing, the outpouring we've gotten from contacts from other states that are calling our barracks," Trooper Stephen Limani said.

The Fraternal Order of Police held a memorial service at 7 p.m.
