The American flag and the state flag of Utah fly at half mast, in memory of the 10th anniversary of the September 11th attacks.

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox has ordered flags at all state buildings be lowered to honor two police officers shot and killed in the line of duty Sunday, Aug. 17.

Utah’s state flag and the U.S. flag will remain in the half-staff position until sunset on the day the men are interred.

The Salt Lake Tribune reports Tremonton Garland police officers, Sgt. Lee Sorensen and officer Eric Estrada, were shot and killed while responding to an apparent case of domestic violence in Tremonton.

A third officer and his K-9 were wounded in the Sunday night shooting.

The department honored the two officers with a procession Monday afternoon as the officers were taken to funeral homes in Garland and Logan.

The governor’s office said there will be an additional announcement when flags may be raised.
