(MSC News)--Flags across Kansas, Wednesday, will fly at half-staff in honor of a fallen Kansas City, Kansas Police Officer.
According to his obituary from the Forbes-Hoffman Funeral Home, Officer Hunter Simoncic was 26-years-old when he was killed August 26 "while proudly serving his community."
Kansas City-area media reports he died after being struck by a vehicle as he and other officers attempted to stop a suspect.
Kansas Governor Laura Kelly, on Tuesday, issued an Executive Order directing that flags be flown at half-staff on all state buildings, grounds, and facilities from sunup to sundown on Wednesday, the day of Simoncic's services.
Kelly, in the release announcing her flag directive, says Simoncic, beyond his work as a police officer, "was committed to leaving a lasting positive impact on the Kansas City community."
