LIVE: Dallas police officer Darron Burks funeral | FOX 4 News

Family and friends of a Dallas police officer killed while sitting in his police cruiser are getting an opportunity to say their final goodbyes. The funeral for Officer Darron Burks will be held on Saturday morning. A viewing will be held from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at Watermark Church in North Dallas. A Celebration of Life service will immediately follow. Fellow police officers and family members will hold a private burial ceremony afterward. On August 29, Burks, a rookie police officer, was sitting in his patrol car in Oak Cliff when 30-year-old Corey Cobb-Bey approached and shot Burks in what Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia called "an execution." Texas Governor Greg Abbott approved flying the state and US flags at half-staff in Dallas on Saturday in Burks' honor. "The First Lady and I extend prayers of comfort for the Burks family during their time of grief, and we urge all Texans to remember and honor Officer Burks' service as a dedicated and trusted law enforcement officer," wrote Abbott in a statement.
