(WXYZ) — The funeral for slain Detroit Police Officer Loren Courts was held on Friday morning at Greater Grace Temple.
The community gathered around 11:30 a.m. to say goodbye. In addition to family members, Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan and Detroit Police Chief James White were among the speakers.
On July 6, Officer Courts was killed responding to shots fired on Detroit's west side.
Over the weekend, hundreds showed up to visitation to pay their respects to Officer Courts, and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has ordered flags at half-staff at all public buildings in honor of the fallen officer.

Carol Griffin was one of the people who attended Courts' viewing on Saturday because she feels a connection.
"My husband who passed away was a police officer, so when I look at Officer Courts' children, I think of my children. Police officers have families," she said.
Courts was a husband and father of two, and his dad was also a retired DPD officer.
On Friday, hundreds gathered at the second precinct where Courts served for 5 years.
