Minnesota Shows Support For Officer Moszer

Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton has ordered U.S. and state flags to be flown at half-staff at all state and federal buildings on Monday in honor of a Fargo police officer killed in the line of duty.

Officer Jason Moszer died a week ago of a gunshot wound during a standoff with a suspect at a house near downtown Fargo.

His funeral is scheduled for Monday.

The Clay County Courthouse has gone one step further, the entire building lighting up blue in honor of Officer Moszer.

Moszer served in the Minnesota National Guard as a combat medic.

At the direction of the governor, Minnesota flies its flags at half-staff on the day of interment following the death of a Minnesotan killed in the line of duty.

North Dakota Governor Jack Dalrymple issued a similar order and is encouraging all North Dakota residents to lower their flags.
