TULARE COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) — Monday afternoon is the public viewing for Tulare County Deputy Randy Hoppert.<\/p>\n
The slain detective was shot and killed on April 9.<\/p>\n
Deputies were assisting with an armed suspect who opened fire as officials tried to serve an eviction notice.<\/p>\n
Hoppert was hit during the response and died at Sierra View Hospital in Porterville.<\/p>\n
After an hours-long standoff, the suspect was eventually killed by an armored vehicle.<\/p>\n
A public viewing for the fallen deputy happens Monday afternoon at Visalia First Assembly from 4 pm to 7 pm, with the procession beginning at 2:30 pm.<\/p>\n
It will be followed by a funeral service Tuesday at that same location, which starts at 10 am.<\/p>\n
The first procession departs at 9:30 am, with Caldwell Avenue closed to traffic.<\/p>\n
A second procession will escort Deputy Hoppert from the church to Salser and Dillard Funeral Home.
