ALTON, Ill. - Family and friends gathered Friday for a food drive in honor of Blake Snyder, a St. Louis County officer killed in the line of duty seven years ago.

The food drive is one of several ways that family members honor his life.  Housing authority scandal rocks East St. Louis; whistleblower faces backlash "Last year, we honored him by giving away ice cream sundaes.
