Procession held for murdered Los Angeles County firefighter

A procession was held from Los Angeles County Fire Station 81 to the coroner's office in Boyle Heights for a firefighter who was shot and killed on June 1.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY, Calif. - A procession for Fire Specialist Tory Carlon who was killed at Los Angeles County Fire Station 81 was held early Wednesday morning. He had worked for the department for over twenty years, officials said.

The procession was held around 1 a.m. as he was escorted by family members and fellow firefighters from the Agua Dulce fire station to the coroner’s office in Boyle Heights.

According to investigators, Specialist Carlon was killed when an off-duty firefighter barged into the firehouse and opened fire. The suspect then drove to his home in Acton, barricaded himself, set his home, and then turned the gun on himself.

The fallen firefighter was described as a loyal firefighter and husband.
