Governor Ned Lamont is directing U.S. and state flags in Connecticut to remain lowered at half-staff today in remembrance of the nearly 3,000 people who were killed in the 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. Of the nearly 3,000 victims on September 11th, 161 had ties to Connecticut. Flags in Connecticut are also currently lowered to half-staff in honor of a Hartford Police Officer who died last Wednesday night while serving in the line of duty.
