Spain bullfighters out in force for matador’s funeral

Hundreds of people joined family, friends and members of Spain’s bullfighting world for a funeral mass for bullfighter Victor Barrio who was fatally gored in a bullring this past weekend.

People applauded and shouted “torero, torero” as the coffin was carried from a hearse to a packed San Bartolome church in the central town of Sepulveda where Barrio lived.

The 29-year-old matador died after being gored in the thigh and chest in the central city of Teruel on Saturday.
