"Erin Bauer's husband, Paul, was shot six times last Tuesday after responding to a call that a man had fled tactical officers when asked about a recent shooting in the area.
"The 53-year-old chased the man to a stairwell before being gunned down. Shomari Legghette, 44, has been charged with first-degree murder.
"Now Erin has written an emotional letter praising the city of Chicago after mourners packed out a church to say farewell to Commander Bauer at his funeral on Saturday.
"She wrote: 'I'm writing to thank the people of Chicago for the outpouring of love and support at this horrendous time in our lives.'
"Thanking those who 'waited for hours in the cold' to attend the service at the weekend, she said: 'You have no idea how much that meant to us.'
"Mrs Bauer added: 'I saw people of every color taking time out of their day, not only to pay respects to Paul, but to the entire Chicago Police Department. They are the men and women who selflessly put their lives on the line each day to protect people they don't even know. They are my new family." . . .
