(Raymond Neupert, WRN) Governor Tony Evers has ordered flags to be lowered to remember a Milwaukee police officer who died on duty.
Flags will be flown at half-staff next week to remember Officer Peter Jerving, who died while trying to apprehend a robbery suspect early Tuesday morning. He and the suspect, 19-year-old Terrell Thompson, shot and killed each other.
Jerving was recently credited for saving a man's life by putting out a fire inside the car of a shooting victim. Several Republican lawmakers criticized the governor for not making the announcement sooner.
