From the office of Gov. Bev Perdue:
Gov. Bev Perdue has ordered that North Carolina flags be flown at half-staff from sunrise to sunset Wednesday, September 12, at the State Capital, State Highway Patrol offices and state facilities in Nash County in tribute to Trooper B. Gene DeMuth of Rocky Mount, who was killed Saturday in the line of duty. Other communities wishing to lower the state flag as a sign of respect may do so.
