Milwaukee Police Officer Kendall Corder died at the hospital as a result of his injuries suffered during an ambush shooting in the 2200 block of North 24th Place while responding to reports of someone with a weapon in an area nearby.
Officer Corder was responding to a shots fired call last week and ran toward danger when he was shot in the line of duty and ultimately passed away from his injuries. Our hearts break for Officer Corder, his family, loved ones, colleagues at the Milwaukee Police Department, and the greater Milwaukee community, and we join Milwaukeeans and Wisconsinites in honoring the life of this dedicated public servant. Kathy and I will continue to keep his family and loved ones and all those who knew Officer Corder in our thoughts and our prayers as they mourn his loss and this merciless tragedy.
Gov. Evers
The governor’s latest order will have the flags of the United States and the state of Wisconsin flown at half-staff from sunrise to sunset on Friday, July 11, in honor of Officer Corder’s interment.
