Gov. Tony Evers on Monday ordered the flags of the United States and the state of Wisconsin to be flown at half-staff immediately in honor of Milwaukee Police Department Officer Kendall Corder, who was killed in the line of duty on June 29. Corder was 32.
“Officer Corder was responding to a shots-fired call last week and ran toward danger when he was shot in the line of duty and ultimately passed away from his injuries. Our hearts break for Officer Corder, his family, loved ones, colleagues at the Milwaukee Police Department, and the greater Milwaukee community, and we join Milwaukeeans and Wisconsinites in honoring the life of this dedicated public servant,” said Gov. Evers in a statement. “Kathy and I will continue to keep his family and loved ones and all those who knew Officer Corder in our thoughts and our prayers as they mourn his loss and this merciless tragedy.”
