I have ordered U.S. and Missouri flags be flown at half-staff at all government buildings in St. Francois County on Sunday, March 27, 2022, from sunrise to sunset in honor of Bonne Terre Police Patrolman Lane A. Burns.

On March 17, Patrolman Burns was mortally wounded when he and Corporal Garrett Worley were ambushed after being dispatched to a local motel for a disturbance call. Corporal Worley was critically wounded. Burns and Worley returned fire, killing the gunman.

This month, over the course of just 10 days, three Missouri police officers were senselessly gunned down as they did their jobs. First in Joplin, and then in Bonne Terre, we lost three fine men who selflessly chose to risk their own lives to protect others. The murder of Lane Burns reminds us of the tremendous debt we owe to the heroes of law enforcement, who take on violent criminals that threaten the safety of our communities. We will forever remember Lane Burns for the valor he displayed as he confronted crime and protected others.

Patrolman Burns, 30, graduated from Mineral Area College Law Enforcement Academy in 2012 and had served with the Bonne Terre Police Department for five years.

I appreciate and support all Law Enforcement

From Missouri Governor Mike Parson
As a former sheriff, and having served in law enforcement for more than 22 years, it is a privilege to recognize and support Missouri's law enforcement officers.

The life of a law enforcement officer is not easy. Officers throughout Missouri protect us every day without hesitation and without second guessing the potential impacts on themselves.

They do a job that most people don’t want to do, but others expect them to. It is our responsibility to pay tribute to them with the highest respect.

To all of our law enforcement officers and their families, we will continue to honor your service, your sacrifice, and your courage. You will never be forgotten, and Missouri will always be grateful.

God bless our officers, God bless the great state of Missouri, and God bless the United States of America!
