Procession for fallen Officer Andrew Duarte passes through Columbia Monday morning


The Lancaster County Fire Chiefs Association coordinated a procession to transport fallen West York Borough police officer Andrew Duarte to Lehigh Valley.

The procession departed from the York County Coroner's Office at approximately 7 a.m. Monday, traveling eastbound on Route 30 before heading north on Route 222. Columbia Borough Police officers paid their respects with a salute as the procession passed, and Columbia Borough Firefighters positioned themselves with apparatus on the Major General Edward C. Shannon Memorial Bridge.

Duarte, who had recently turned 30, served as a police officer for more than six years before losing his life in the UPMC Memorial Hospital shooting.
