(KNZA)--Governor Laura Kelly has directed flags to be flown at half-staff Friday in honor of Hays Police Sergeant Scott Heimann, who was killed in the line of duty early Sunday after responding to a domestic violence call.
Kelly signed an executive order Tuesday ordering flags to be flown at half-staff on all state buildings, grounds, and facilities from sunup to sundown on Friday, which is the day of Heimann's funeral.
“For nearly a decade, Sergeant Heimann was committed to protecting those in Hays, and he made the ultimate sacrifice in service to his community,” Governor Laura Kelly said. “His sacrifice is a debt that we will never forget or be able to repay. My sincere condolences go out to his family and loved ones as they mourn this tragedy, and to all Kansans as we grieve our state- fourth line-of-duty death in the last three months.”
