From Governor Bullock:

"I hereby order all flags flown in the state of Montana to be flown at half-staff on Friday, October 25th, 2019 to honor Gallatin County Sheriff’s Deputy Jake Allmendinger, who lost his life in the line of duty on October 19th, 2019.

Deputy Allmendinger was a devoted father and husband, a brave first responder, and a selfless public servant who gave his life in service to another. Montana’s law enforcement officers and Montanans all across the state mourn the loss of a fallen brother but we will never forget the ultimate sacrifice he made to our state. The thoughts and prayers of my family and administration and our state are with the family, friends, and colleagues of Deputy Allmendinger."
