Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper has ordered flags to be lowered to half-staff on all public buildings from sunrise Tuesday until sunset the day of the funeral to honor El Paso County Sheriff's Deputy Micah Flick.
Flick was killed in the line of duty Monday after a shooting that also left three other law enforcement officers wounded.
“A senseless act of violence has claimed the life of another member of Colorado’s law enforcement family," said Gov. Hickenlooper in a statement.
"Late this afternoon, we learned that El Paso County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Micah Flick was killed, two other deputies were injured, as was a Colorado Springs police officer and two bystanders. With the recent loss of now three deputies and many others injured, there’s no denying the grave impact this sequence of shootings is having on our state."
"We will once more come together to provide sympathy and strength for the deputy’s loved ones and pray for the recovery of those injured; however, we also must come together and say enough is enough. We want each officer, every deputy, to know we are grateful for their service."
