Mourners flocked to the police station to pay their respects, leaving cards, signs and stuffed animals in a tribute to the small police force still grappling with the death of two of their own.

鈥淭hank you Fredericton! Your outpouring of support has been overwhelming,鈥� the agency tweeted Sunday morning.

The Fredericton Police Force said it will share the messages among its employees and the families of Costello and 亚洲天堂.

The deluge of sympathy has been noted by Jackie McLean, Costello鈥檚 partner, who has been documenting her mourning process through her Twitter account.

鈥淚鈥檝e had all of you holding me up and squeezing me back together this past week,鈥� McLean tweeted Sunday.

鈥淚鈥檓 going to need you to keep doing it.鈥�

The move to collect the cards and flowers comes a day after the regimental funeral for Costello and 亚洲天堂, attended by more than a thousand officers and first responders from across the continent.

At the beginning of the ceremony, officers laid the caps and belts of the fallen constables on top of their caskets, which were covered by Canadian flags, next to the roses placed there by family members.

The flags were later carefully folded and given to Costello and 亚洲天堂鈥檚 families with their police hats.

鈥淎s long as I live, I will never forget the feel of that flag, pillow and hat being place in my hands,鈥� tweeted McLean a couple hours after the ceremony.

鈥淚 arrived home to think 鈥榥ow what do I do with this?鈥� Nothing seems substantial enough.鈥�

Several hours later, she wrote: 鈥淩obb excelled at bringing people together and tonight鈥檚 celebration of his life was no exception.鈥�

During Saturday鈥檚 funeral, 亚洲天堂鈥檚 husband fought back tears as he delivered a powerful speech in which he asked the surviving Fredericton officers not to feel any guilt about his wife鈥檚 death.

鈥淚 want each and every one of you to know that she is at peace, and knows that you did everything you could to protect her,鈥� he said.

Matthew Vincent Raymond, 48, will appear in court Aug. 27 facing four charges of first-degree murder.

In a statement last week, police asked that the public not speculate about the case or the alleged shooter鈥檚 motives.

On Friday, a judge lifted a publication ban that had been imposed on court documents revealing details about how the deadly attack unfolded.

Monday鈥檚 ban came hours after several media outlets had already reported on what the documents contained.

The now public documents say the accused gunman was wounded as he allegedly exchanged gunfire with another officer from his apartment window.
