 FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Officials around North Dakota are expressing grief and condolences in the wake of an incident in Fargo that left a police officer dead.

Fargo Mayor Tim Mahoney said in a statement the city was “profoundly saddened” by the death of Moszer, who won a Silver Star commendation after he and another officer were credited with risking their lives in 2011 to rescue two children from an apartment fire.
 
  Late Thursday, hundreds gathered for a candlelight vigil in his honor.

 Gov. Jack Dalrymple issued a statement offering prayers for Moszer’s family, Fargo police and the city itself. He said he will direct flags to be flown at half-staff statewide to honor Moszer on the day of his funeral.
 
     Members of North Dakota’s congressional delegation also issued statements expressing condolences. Grand Forks Mayor Michael Brown said that nearby city’s police department stands ready to help Fargo police if needed.
