One year after a St. Louis County police officer was shot and killed in the line of duty, Lewis and Clark Community College will honor his memory, according to a Facebook post.

Two "Benches for Blake" will be made from the 800 pounds of plastic caps and lids donated by nursing students. Blake Snyder died on Oct. 6, 2016.

The benches will be located at the Trailblazer Soccer Field. Snyder, a 2003 graduate of the college, played on the field.
