DETROIT (AP) – A crowd of 600 people stood silently Sunday as bells rang 29 times in remembrance of the mariners lost when the Edmund Fitzgerald sank in a vicious storm on Lake Superior 30 years ago.

“The bell is the voice of feelings we feel that are difficult to articulate,” the Rev. Richard Ingalls said as the bells tolled at the Mariners’ Church of Detroit.

Sailors in dress uniforms joined those packed into the small sanctuary, singing “Mariner’s Hymn” and “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald,” the Gordon Lightfoot ballad about the ship and crew.

The church holds the service every year to honor the crew of the 729-foot freighter, which was caught in storm Nov. 10, 1975, and sank as it carried a load of iron ore across Lake Superior.

Dallas cop killed; suspect charged

DALLAS (AP) – A Dallas police officer who once worked in New York was shot and killed Sunday by a suspect he was chasing on foot, police Chief David Kunkle said.

Officer Brian Jackson, 28, was pronounced dead at Baylor University Medical Center at 3:52 a.m., Kunkle said.

Jackson and another officer were responding to a disturbance call in East Dallas early Sunday and chased a 28-year-old male suspect through alleys and between houses, police said. The suspect, identified as Juan Lizcano, fired at the officers and fatally shot Jackson, Kunkle said.

Lizcano was charged with one count of capital murder and remained in police custody. He was not injured.

Jackson, a Rhode Island native, was a five-year veteran of the Dallas police force.
