Memorial Planned for Fallen Vegas Police Rescuer
A Las Vegas Strip procession and a memorial service at a Henderson megachurch are set for a 36-year-old police search-and-rescue officer who died after falling from a helicopter hoist line while rescuing a stranded hiker.
Rescuer Killed.
Central Christian Church officials say up to 2,900 people can be seated in the main auditorium for the Monday service for Officer David Vanbuskirk.
A police procession is being planned to run south on Las Vegas Boulevard to the 215 Beltway, and east to the U.S. 95 freeway. It will end at the church.
