Huge Crowd Packs Funeral For Slain Reston Couple: Report

RESTON, VA -- Funeral services for a Reston couple slain by their daughter's boyfriend drew "close to 800 people" in Herndon on Saturday, according to a report.

WTOP's Kathy Stewart posted photos and video (embedded below) of the scene outside Trinity Presbyterian Church, where friends and relatives came to honor the lives of Scott Fricker and his wife Buckley Kuhn-Fricker.

The couple was shot to death on Dec. 22 at their home on Black Fir Court in Reston by their daughter's boyfriend, who turned the gun on himself and remains in the hospital in critical condition, police say.

The couple had forbidden their 16-year-old daughter from seeing the 17-year-old boy anymore due to his Nazi and white supremacist views, Buckley Kuhn-Ficker's mother has told various news outlets in recent days.

Police say the couple confronted the boy when he sneaked into their daughter's room early that morning, and he shot them and then himself.

Earlier this year, the boy reportedly mowed a 40-foot-wide swastika into a community field in Lorton.
