Red Lake, Minn ? With the bang of a drum and a high-pitched wail, the first funerals began Saturday for victims of the shootings on the Red Lake Indian Reservation in which 10 people died.

A lone man’s sad cry gave way to songs and more drumming from a circle of a dozen men, and hundreds of people who had gathered in a community center filed past a pair of open caskets.

Daryl Lussier, 58, a tribal police officer, and his longtime companion, Michelle Sigana, 31, were the first victims in Monday’s attack by his grandson, Jeff Weise, 16.

Lussier, dressed in his police uniform, had an eagle father placed in his hands. In his casket were an American flag, a teddy bear, a few cigarettes and his police badge. In Sigana’s casket was a ceramic dish filled with cigarettes.

More than 100 police officers attended the five-hour service for Lussier and Sigana, along with Gov. Tim Pawlenty and U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman.

After killing the pair in their home on the northern Minnesota reservation, Weise went to Red Lake High School, where authorities say he killed five students, a teacher and a security guard before shooting himself.

Led by Daryl Lussier's patrol vehicle, the caskets of Lussier and his companion, Michelle Sigana, are carried by a horse-drawn carriage Saturday through Main Street in Red Lake, Minn. Jeff Weise, a 16-year-old student at Red Lake High School, shot his grandfather, Lussier, and Sigana along with seven others and himself on Monday.

A third funeral, for 15-year-old Chase Lussier, was planned Saturday at St. Mary’s Catholic Church.

Outside the Red Lake community center, which shares space with a casino, an electronic sign flashed a message: “Red Lake Nation sends heartfelt condolences to all family members of tragic event. We are one in our sorrow and in our love.”

On Saturday, President Bush made his first public comments on the shooting, praising a security guard credited with saving some students by confronting Weise. Bush said he and first lady Laura Bush were praying for the victims.
