COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Colorado Gov. Jared Polis has ordered flags to be lowered at half-staff on all public buildings across the state on Saturday after the death of FBI Special Agent Laura Schwartzenberger, who was gunned down this week in Florida.

The Gazette reported that the FBI said Schwartzenberger, who is from Colorado, was killed Tuesday while serving a court-ordered federal search warrant for violent crimes against children.

Schwartzenberger was born in Pueblo and graduated from Pueblo South High School in 1996. She later attended Colorado State University.

Schwartzenberger is survived by her husband and two children.

A memorial service is being held in Florida to honor the fallen FBI agent. Watch the service in the player below:
