YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP) - Police officers from several states are expected to attend the funeral of a slain Ohio policeman.

Girard Officer Justin Leo will be remembered at his funeral Sunday at Youngstown State University.

Leo was shot last Saturday while responding to a domestic disturbance at a home in Girard, about 70 miles (113 kilometers) southeast of Cleveland.

Investigators say another officer with Leo killed the suspected shooter who lived at the home.

Some streets will be closed for the procession near the Youngstown State arena where mourners will gather.
