(AP) ? A funeral service is set for a Marine combat veteran who survived three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan but got shot in the head while on routine police patrol in San Diego.

California Gov. Jerry Brown is expected among the mourners at a San Diego church where Officer Jeremy Henwood will be remembered Friday.

Henwood was a Marine Corps Reserve captain who had been on a police officer for four years. Police say 23-year-old Dejon White flashed his headlights behind Henwood's patrol car Saturday, as if to seek help, then pulled alongside the 36-year-old and shot him.

Police shot White to death in a confrontation minutes after Henwood was hit. Police say White shot another man in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant before the attack on Henwood.
