ORDERVILLE -- A Utah lawman who was shot to death while chasing a suspect in northern Arizona last week was laid to rest Friday.
Services for Kane County Sheriff's Deputy Brian Harris were held at Valley High School in the southern Utah town of Orderville.
"We lost a great man in Brian Harris," Sheriff Lamont Smith said.
The turnout at the service and burial included law enforcement officers from throughout Utah and Arizona.
A broadcast feed was also shown in the high school's theater and LDS ward houses in Orderville and nearby Glendale for those who could not get in the gymnasium.
Harris was buried in Glendale, one week after he was shot in Fredonia, a tiny Arizona town south of the Utah border.
Scott Curley has been arrested in the shooting. The 23-year-old man faces a first-degree murder charge in Arizona.
On Thursday, family members, friends and fellow law officers from across the state paid their respects to Harris at a viewing.
