Watch: Procession For LA Officer Who Died After Training Accident

NORTHRIDGE, CA — Officers planned a procession for Friday to honor Los Angeles police officer Houston Tipping, who died Sunday after injuring his spinal cord during a training exercise, according to Police Chief Michel Moore.

The procession was set for Friday afternoon to escort Tipping's body from Los Angeles County + USCMedical Center to the Los Angeles County coroner's facility.

Tipping was acting as a bike instructor for a training scenario that involved him grappling with another officer. Tipping fell to the floor and injured his spinal cord, according to an LAPD statement. Nearby officers performed CPR, and the Los Angeles Fire Department transported to LA County-USC Medical Center.

Tipping's death is a "tremendous loss" to the Devonshire community, said Lt. Nemechek with the Devonshire Community Police Station. Tipping was very outgoing and one of the station's most productive officers, someone who younger officers looked up to for guidance and mentorship, Nemechek said.

A GoFundMe page has been set up to support Tipping's family and girlfriend.
