Governor Kevin Stitt has ordered flags to be flown at half-staff starting Friday morning through the weekend for two fallen sheriff’s deputies.
“Oklahoma mourns the loss of fallen officers Robert Blaine Swartz and Captain William Riley Hargraves and our hearts are with the families and loved ones they left behind,” said Stitt. “We must never take for granted the sacrifices our brave men and women in law enforcement make every single day and we will never forget those who gave their life to keep us safe.”
Swartz was killed when a man who he was serving an eviction notice fatally shot him and wounded his partner on Monday.
Hargraves was killed on Friday when his truck was struck by a 14 year-old driver after striking another vehicle.
