The morning funeral of Krystle Campbell, 29, was the first since the April 15 attack at the marathon’s finish line, which killed three people and injured more than 200.
The suspected bombers also are believed to have fatally shot a campus police officer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on Thursday night before a gun battle with police and day-long manhunt that left most of the Boston area locked down.
The hearse carrying Campbell’s red-tinted casket was escorted by about 20 police motorcycles. An honor guard of uniformed law enforcement officers stood in front of the church as pallbearers carried the casket in.
