Student slain while attacking gunman gets hero's send off

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A North Carolina college student slain while confronting a gunman in his classroom was being given a hero's send-off Thursday as his body is taken back to his hometown with a police escort.

Police motorcycles and other vehicles with blue lights flashing quickly left a funeral home and started their 150-mile (240-kilometer) journey west Thursday morning from Riley Howell's college home in Charlotte to his mountain hometown of Waynesville.

Traffic stopped along busy, four-lane Charlotte streets as the procession went by.

Meanwhile, the suspect accused of killing Howell and another student at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte, while wounding four others, was due to appear in the afternoon to face charges including murder and attempted murder.
