Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker has ordered flags at state buildings to be flown at half-staff until Wednesday.
The order comes as a sign of respect for service and sacrifice of U.S. Capitol Police Officers Sicknick and Liebengood and all law enforcement, according to a spokesperson for the governor.
Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick died last Thursday after being attacked as rioters angered over President Donald Trump’s election loss stormed the U.S. Capitol.
A few days later, Officer Howard Liebengood who also responded to the rioting died in an off-duty incident. Liebengood s manner of death has not been made public. He was 51.
