San Gabriel Valley : SLAIN OFFICER REMEMBERED
Glendora Sports Park will be renamed Louie Pompei Sports Park, in honor of the first police officer to die in the line of duty in the city’s 108-year history, the City Council decided this week.
The 20-acre park at 1100 S. Valley Center Ave. includes a softball and soccer field and a playground.
Pompei, 30, was fatally shot June 9, when he tried to intervene in a robbery at a Vons supermarket in San Dimas.
