SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — A veteran Marine from Massachusetts killed by a gunman in Tennessee will be laid to rest next week.
The family of Gunnery Sgt. Thomas Sullivan announced through an attorney that the funeral Mass is scheduled for Monday morning at Holy Cross Church in Springfield.
Burial will follow in the Massachusetts Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Agawam.
Visiting hours are scheduled for Sunday afternoon at T.P. Sampson Chapel of The Acres in Springfield.
