Funeral Set for Slain Policeman

Funeral arrangements have been set for an Atlanta police officer who was gunned down two days ago during a traffic stop in southwest Atlanta.

The funeral for Officer Mark Cross was scheduled to be held at 11 a.m. Friday at Jackson Memorial Baptist Church on Fairburn Road in northwest Atlanta.

A wake was planned from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday at Murray Brothers Funeral Home in southwest Atlanta.

Investigators have said they may never know what prompted a 19-year-old convicted felon to allegedly open fire on Cross and a second officer.

Cross, 31, died after he was shot Saturday night during a traffic stop in southwest Atlanta, Sgt. John Quigley said. Officer Andy Griffin was shot in the jaw but treated and released.
