OPP pause for a minute out of respect for Vu Pham

OPP officers across the north west region paid their final respects Friday to Constable Vu Pham. He was gunned down this week in southern Ontario while on duty. Sgt. Shelley Garr says that as the funeral was taking place officers here paused on the job.   At  1:10 pm those who were working on the road pulled over to the shoulder and activated their lights as a show of support.   Meantime, the region was represented at the funeral in Wingham by Superintendent Ron van Straalen
